Bottom metal?
#241489 - 30/01/14 03:54 PM

Newby question here and thanks for any help in solving my quandary. I recently purchased a Charles Daly 98 in 30-06. I bought a used slim profile "European" type stock suited for iron sights off of flea-bay. When trying to fit the bottom metal in, I noticed it was too wide to fit in the stock as is. I'm concerned about taking anymore wood out of it as it is very thin already. Is there any reference or notable size differences between bottom metal over the years? I will be checking to see if a military 98 floor plate will fit, but was oblivious to their being different dimensions.

A std. 8mm military box measures 1.080 at rear, 0.870 at the front and is 3.500 long. An .06 box from an FN commercial Husky I have measures 1.100 at rear, 0.890 at the front and is 3.600 long. The width measurements are at the bottom of the box. Good luck.
