[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 807891, member: 229"] If you buy a stock that is already inleted for a box-mag system (depending on the mag system), it probably won't work with ADL bottom metal. I think your Choate can be inleted for at least HS Precision Detachable magazine-style bottom metal (I don't know how much "meat" is in there around the aluminum or plastic, but surely its enough for some sort of detachable mag system). The issue is that if it doesn't have enough material in there, when you take some away to fit a box mag system inside, it will structurally weaken the stock's bedding block. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about the Choate stock. I would look at getting a different stock in all honesty - if you inlet that Choate, it is only going to work with that particular bottom metal and most folks who are buying Choate stocks aren't looking to put bottom metal in them as its pretty much a budget stock - this will definitely hurt your ability to sell it later. Look at the Bell Carlson Medalist stocks - they can be had for around $200 and can be inletted for bottom metal (and are nice enough that if you go to sell it after you inlet it for bottom metal, you can probably sell it). If you want a quality stock that is above and beyond the B&C, then look at the Manners or McMillian - and at that point, [B]JesseR[/B] is right when he says that a good stock of that quality and bottom metal is going to cost about the same as an AICS stock system (though a lot of folks don't car for the feel of the AICS or its thumb-hole). Steve Baldwin at Mechanical Accuracy in Jones can inlet stocks. He's reasonable on his prices as well. [/QUOTE]
