Description

The MDT Hunting Bottom Metal is a smart upgrade for anyone running a Remington 700 short action in a Badger M5 profile stock who wants detachable magazine capability without moving to a full chassis system. It swaps out your hinged floorplate or older bottom metal for a clean AICS-pattern setup, so you can load, unload, and top off with quick magazine changes instead of feeding rounds one at a time. Machined from 6061 aluminum with an anodized finish, it keeps things light and holds up when the weather turns.

What Sets the Hunting Bottom Metal Apart

The standout feature here is the lockable magazine latch. A low-profile, ambidextrous lever hugs the front of the trigger guard, and you can dial in exactly how much force it takes to release a mag using the adjustable tension control. Crank it all the way down and the lever locks like a shotgun-style crossbolt safety, so your magazine stays put while you're bushwhacking through timber or crawling up a rocky ridge. Leave it unlocked when speed matters. It's the kind of detail that hunters who've lost a mag in the field really appreciate.

Fitment and Trigger Clearance

This unit is built for Remington 700 short action rifles and 700-pattern clones in stocks cut for the Badger M5 inlet. The trigger opening is generous enough to clear factory and pretty much any aftermarket trigger, and the guard is slotted so you can reach pull-weight adjustment screws without pulling the barreled action from the stock. If your stock doesn't have a micro-chassis, you'll want to run the included pillars for a solid, repeatable screw base.

Built to Disappear on Your Rifle

MDT kept the profile slim with minimal snag points, and it sits especially clean when paired with their flush-fitting 3-round polymer magazine. Corrosion-resistant hardware and finish mean it shrugs off rain, snow, and sweat. Feeding is smooth and consistent, and it pairs beautifully with ultralight builds like the MDT CRBN carbon fiber stock for a lightweight hunting rig that still runs real detachable mags.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stocks does the MDT Hunting Bottom Metal fit?

It's designed for Remington 700 short action rifles and 700-pattern clones housed in stocks with a Badger M5 inlet. That covers a lot of popular aftermarket options, including MDT's own CRBN and Core stocks. If your stock lacks a micro-chassis, you'll want to use the included pillars for a stable screw base.

Does the Hunting Bottom Metal work with aftermarket triggers?

Yes. The trigger opening is sized to clear factory triggers and essentially any aftermarket trigger you'd put in a Remington 700. The guard is also slotted, so you can get to your trigger's pull-weight adjustment screws without tearing the rifle apart.

How does the locking magazine latch actually work?

The ambidextrous release lever sits at the front of the trigger guard and has an adjustable tension control so you can set how much effort it takes to drop a mag. Cranked fully down, it locks much like a shotgun-style crossbolt safety, keeping your magazine seated through rough country. You can leave it unlocked whenever you want faster mag changes.

What magazines does it take?

It accepts AICS-pattern magazines, which are widely available in metal, polymer, and poly-metal from MDT and other makers. Capacities typically run from 3 up to 12 rounds depending on your cartridge. The MDT 3-round polymer mag sits flush for the cleanest hunting profile.
