MDT Hunting Bottom Metal

Hunters seeking a low-profile magazine well designed to stand up to the elements have a new option in MDT’s AICS-compatible Hunting Bottom Metal designed for Remington 700 SA and Badger M5 profile stocks.

Magazines can be released with a low-profile, ambidextrous latch that hugs the front portion of the trigger guard. To further secure a seated magazine, the bottom metal provides an adjustable tension control, allowing users to dial in the amount of force required to unlock the magazine catch.

The lever can even be locked down fully, ensuring your magazine won’t go anywhere. An open slot on the bottom of the trigger guard provides access to trigger-pull adjustment screws, and a corrosion-resistant finish provides further ruggedness for field use.

MSRP is $300. For more information, visit mdttac.com.
