McMillan had a couple ADLs in their "ready to ship" list a few weeks ago.
Does anyone manufacture a 700/700 clone M5 style bottom metal that mimics the ADL blind magazine?

McMillan allows custom orders, Im sure others do, too.
Has he talked to them about it? It doesnt seem like it should be that difficult to order exactly what he wants?

He's already talked to McMillan, their willing, he just doesn't want to wait.
I think we are going to convert a Manners LRH or PH using the method described earlier in the thread.
He's found a Back in Black PH at a gunsmith east of the metroplex and his gunsmith has a Back in Black LRH. I told him to buck up and buy it and we can make it a blind magazine. I just need to figure out how to manufacture a piece of carbon fiber thick enough to fill the inlet using dry carbon fiber weave and wet epoxy. I know the method, trying to figure out how to apply enough pressure to avoid any voids. I have a venturi vacuum pump and an electric vacuum pump, just need 24 hours of cure time, so probably the electric pump method. I will know tomorrow what he chooses and go from there. His gunsmith has already said that he could mill the carbon to fit and suggested leaving as a separate piece from the stock so that he could install pillars in the stock and countersunk washers in the filler. I am concerned about the holes delaminating under torque, we'll see. I am going to try to make a couple and I am considering making one with aluminum pillars in place that can be drilled after the piece is fit to the stock.
