furrybean Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Im just sorting out the inlet for the Third Eye Tactical DBM on a Remington hunter and looked at the pillars supplied with the kit. If I use those pillars either the trigger guard will be sitting proud or the action wont sit in the inlet okay... Anyone any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furrybean Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 You reckon it will still feed okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Don't cut the pillars. The DBM has to sit at the correct height in order to function correctly. In some stocks this means the bottom metal will be proud of the inlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrybean Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Cheers. That's what I thought. I'll give TET a ring tomorrow and just confirm they are the right length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrybean Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It is going to be about 5mm proud though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Simple way to check is to attach the bottom metal to the barreled action out of the stock with the pillars sandwiched between the two, you should have around 1/16" clearance between the top of the mag lips and the bolt, if this is correct, then that's where it needs to be to function correctly.

Danpd Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Indeed, in this case cut the pillar, but normally the pillars are supplied at the correct lengths! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrybean Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Anyone know what to use to repair the gel coating on a mcmillan? I'm going to have to mod the stock slightly to get the action to fit so I'm wanting to touch it back up afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
