AusVarmint

when I had my 204 built I used the rem bottom metal and got Shane to take the spacer out of the box so I could seat pills out further. It means the spring flops around and feeding is erratic. It really needs DBM and magazine. I was warned but the funds did not permit the dbm at that time

There are many brands. What offers good value but isnt crap and where do get the best deal?

cheers

Lumley Arms DBM are made here in Australia and are a high quality bit of kit.

GregT on this forum has a CNC profile to mill your stock out to accept the Lumley metal.

Adam, what price are we looking at and do they sell direct?

ok found the website $280 for the metal then the magazine

Hi Trevort

Lumley is the way to go unless you are worried about weight, in which case the Badger m5 is recognised as the benchmark of the alloy ones, but expensive.

GregT did a great job of inletting my HS stock for the Lumley. Only took him a couple of weeks to get around to it. I paid him $80 for the work. You would need to confirm current rates with him.

AI 223 mags are about $80. You won't fit 10 204s in there - they only fit 9 of that case apparently.

I haven't had the cash to actually buy the DBM yet, but hope to soon, because I am redeploying the Manners stock onto my new Pierce actioned 6x47 Lapua, and need to throw the 223 back into the HS.

Cheers, Jason

thanks. Lumley it is.

where is gregt located?

Near Canberra.

well, I just spent my birthday money on the stainless rossi puma 44m on used guns. Yes I would like the DBM, but it doesnt go bang!!

Check out the DBM that Pacific Tool and Gauge does. I recently bought the SA model - $129 plus shipping. Accepts AI mags. Just be aware that it protrudes from the bottom of the rifle ie not flush and needs inletting. Also PTG service has been crap lately.
