Precision engineered. Built to perform.
The AG Composites M5 Bottom Metal (Short Action) is a premium upgrade component designed for shooters and builders who demand top‑tier magazine interface and build quality in their short‑action rifle platforms.

Manufactured from durable 6061 aluminium with a black anodised finish, this bottom metal weighs only 2.5 ounces in the short‑action version—saving weight without sacrificing strength.

It is engineered for use with AICS‑pattern detachable magazines, and fits the M5 footprint on stocks and actions prepared for this configuration.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Material: 6061‑T6 aluminium, black anodised finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

• Short Action version weight: ~2.5 oz (approx 71 g) — significantly lighter than many stock bottom metals.

• Compatible with AICS‑style detachable magazines (Magpul, AI, MDT, Hawkins Hunter etc) as recommended by AG Composites.

• Designed to fit the M5 inlet footprint — important compatibility note if using other stock/manufacturer footprints.

• Anodised black finish gives a refined appearance and helps integrate seamlessly into custom builds.

• Ideal for precision shooting, custom stocks and lightweight builds and ensures reliable magazine interface for short‑action calibres.

Ideal Use‑Cases:

• Custom short‑action builds (e.g., .223 Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester in short‑action format) where weight savings and magazine flexibility matter.

• Upgrading existing stock/inlet configurations to AICS detachable magazine compatibility with M5 footprint.

• Precision rifle stocking builds where high‑end bottom metal and magazine interface is required for competition or tactical use.
