Dean , thats so wrong I will even send you a AW mag so your customer can see the difference , and they are available at a reasonable price , approx $100 NZD .

Hey Chris,

There was a couple of reasons why we had to go that way. Original plan was for customer to fit the Spectre into an AICS stock, and to keep life simple. But no, he decided - too heavy, and ended up going and buying an HS stock and send to me saying - fit this please...... Ok, so that limits options. And he wanted to keep weight down as its for hunting, so big sticky-out mags weren't going to be acceptable for him. Had to get the HS mag kit in especially from the US - the new series HS mags (different to the older ones). Also, because of the 'swamped' bottom metal area of the stock in those HS stocks, means that the only thing that was going to be a drop-in fit was a genuine HS mag assy/kit.

As for the DBM kits, if i was going to fit one of those the first choice would be a Stiller DBM kit. They are so much easier to fit to existing BDL inletted stcoks compared with the Aussie ones, or other US ones like PTG, etc. See pics attached. The stiller does not need to be re-inletted around the trigger/rear screw area or the the front screw area, and it also has a flared mag recess to aid loading as well as covering the stock inletting underneath. As you can see the other ones require much more aggressive inletting to get them to fit at all.


Also, if you have a good supply of AI mags in NZ then let me know. Hell, i can't even buy them for $100.00 myself!!

Cheers,

Dean.
