MDT Badger M5 Bottom Metal for Remington 700 - Black Aluminum

The MDT Badger M5 Bottom Metal transforms standard Remington 700 rifles into precision platforms capable of using detachable box magazines. This upgrade eliminates the limitations of blind magazine systems while maintaining the proven reliability shooters demand from their bolt-action rifles.

What Makes This Different

Unlike factory bottom metal that requires single-loading or internal magazine modifications, the Badger M5 system accepts industry-standard AICS pattern magazines up to 10 rounds. The precision-machined aluminum construction provides a rock-solid interface between rifle and magazine, eliminating the flex and inconsistency common in polymer alternatives. CNC machining from 6061-T6 aluminum ensures dimensional accuracy within 0.001 inches across all critical surfaces.

Key Features

• Compatible with all AICS pattern magazines including Magpul, MDT, and Accuracy International
• Precision CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hard anodizing
• Drop-in installation for Remington 700 short and long action rifles
• Ambidextrous magazine release accessible from both sides of the trigger guard
• Accepts magazines from 5 to 10 round capacity depending on cartridge
• Black hard anodized finish resists corrosion and wear
• Includes all necessary mounting hardware and installation instructions

Field performance centers on the system's ability to enable rapid magazine changes during competition or hunting scenarios where follow-up shots matter. The machined aluminum construction maintains zero shift during magazine changes, critical for precision shooting applications. Weather sealing around the magazine well prevents debris infiltration while maintaining smooth operation in adverse conditions.
