OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala. (Feb. 15, 2024) — AG Composites — the leader in the design and production of custom rifle stocks for both hunters and the world’s top competition shooters – is now offering bottom metals on its best-in-class custom rifle stocks.
The company currently offers two configurations of bottom metals: the AG M5 and the AG BDL. The AG M5 Bottom Metal is made from 6061 aluminum, has a black anodized finish, and weighs just 2.5 ounces (Short Action) or 3.9 ounces (Long Action). It is designed for use with AICS magazines, and AG Composites recommends using Magpul, MDT, AI mags, and Hawkins Hunter DBM magazines (an AW magazine is compatible if your action is cut for AW magazines.) The AG M5 Bottom Metal fits M5 inlets (it will not work with BDL inlets.) It is available in both short action length and long action length (3.715-inch mag length) for calibers such as the 30.06, .270, and 7mm Rem. Mag., .300 Win Mag., etc., and CIP Long Action Length (3.850-inch mag length) for calibers such as the .300 PRC, .300 Norma, .28 Nosler, etc. The AG BDL Bottom Metal has an M5 inlet, allowing the user to change from a hinged floor plate to a detachable bottom metal without having to modify the stock. It is also carefully crafted from 6061 aluminum, has a black anodized finish, and weighs just 2.5 ounces (Short Action) and 2.6 ounces (Long Action). A magazine box, spring, and follower are not included. The suggested retail price for either bottom metal is $199. However, if the customer bundles the purchase of the bottom metal with the purchase of a stock, the price is reduced to $149.
“We are always looking at ways to improve our customer experience. By providing bottom metals that are crafted for our stocks, we are doing just that,” said Matt Tandy, AG Composites owner. “Our bottom metals are designed for our stocks, are lightweight yet extremely durable, and provide a lifetime of flawless performance.”
In addition to bottom metals, AG Composites now offers several other anodized aluminum add-ons. The AG Picatinny Rail with Quick Detach Cup, which works on stocks with swivel hole spacing up to 2.5 inches, is made from 6061 aluminum, has a black anodized finish, measures 3.25 inches long, weighs a mere .7 ounces, and has an MSRP of $50. AG ARCA Rails are also available in lengths of either 4-, 6-, or 8 inches, which weigh in at 1.5 ounces, 2.5 ounces, and 3 ounces, respectively, and are also made from black anodized 6061 aluminum. MSRP is $50.00 (4-inch), $55.00 (6-inch), and $60.00 (8-inch.) Finally, the black anodized 6061 aluminum AG Quick Detach (QD) Cup weighs just .14 ounces each and carries an MSRP of just $9. The following QD sling accessories are recommended: Magpul QD cups, Bengor QD cups, and SOMA QD cups.
