I’m aware of several manufacturers of tikka bottom metal, including some that take aics mags. Does anyone make a bottom metal that fits the CTR stock inlet, but which is designed for the standard factory sporter magazines?
I've never seen one.
Most people that want to do what your talking about just use the standard dbm in the ctr stock.
Length wise they are the same.
You'll have some small gaps on the sides of the ctr stock.
The gaps could be filled I guess but I sure wouldn't bother.
Thanks. Yep, Ive done the above and also ended up modifying my ctr bottom metal to also take aics mags so I could use a flush magazine, but the trigger guard and mag release is pretty harsh in that case. In this case Im just thinking of making a very expensive stock more versatile, without fudging it, and wondered if one already existed.
