2015 Shot Show: PTG M700 AR-15 Magazine Bottom Metal

[Mystic Precision]

Very interesting... Will have to look at more PTG stuff.

Just a heads up, that AR mags have a history of not feeding that well from bolt rifles. I hope this DBM corrects that.

Personally, I am really enjoying the equally priced AICS polymer mags for the 223. Center feed mags which cycle well all the time. Allow for a much longer OAL which I prefer for heavy bullets.

I am mucking with an AR for Service Rifle and the mags are so limiting in what you can do. BUT, they are plentiful and many shooters want AR stuff so...

See what 2015 brings...

Would this work in my blind mag ADL model?
I think I would just need mil out the area in my stock for the bottom metal to go..

Thanks to the OP for this heads-up!

I just ordered one direct from the PT&G website: USD $153.63 total incl. shipping
UPS was the only shipping choice so I will get screwed at my own front door...

If memory serves me correctly, the last time I ordered through PTG I called them and requested USPS. Avoided the Fedex/UPS screw over!

Looks great. If they made one that took SR-25 pattern mags I would be all over it. My .308 700 doesn't feed the first round from a full mag very well.

also excited about a .308 version...

I had a brief email exchange with their Sales Manager, on the subject of whether they are going to expand to other rifles. Salient point is, first the AR-10 mag for the Remington 700. Then other rifles to follow:

Hi there,

I am writing to enquire about the bottom metal for a .308 Ruger Scout. Does that accept AICS magazines as would the factory magazine well and trigger guard?

http://shop.pacifictoolandgauge.com/...oducts_id=2071

Are there any plans to produce a bottom metal for the Ruger Scout similar to the AR magazine compatible model for the Remington 700 you demonstrated at Shot Show 2015?

Thanks for any information you can provide. I'm on the fence about upgrading as I live in a very cold part of the world and the plastic trigger guard that comes from the factory is a concern to me. But magazine compatibility
is paramount consideration (either AICS or AR-10).

Cheers,

The Ruger DBM that we make does accept the AICS magazines.

We have just completed design on the Rem700 and Rem M7 DBM for AR-15 magazines, and we will be making those models for AR-10 magazines next. We will then continue with all other models such as Winchester, Savage, Ruger etc. I cannot offer a definite timeline on the completion of the Ruger, but we will continue to work through designs for all the different models.
