Not necessarily, no.

My son's rifle required a lot of inletting to get his to fit, same one you are looking at. It would have been a real hack job with a screwdriver. GitRDone did mine but he is near High River.

Not this one, I talked with the owner of the website. And I was told I need to have the stock inletted and have 1mm of the trigger housing shaved off in order to install the DBM of this particular brand.
That's why I'm asking if a gunsmith around Edmonton Area is able to install this.

Probably would be pretty easy for rod henrickson ( think that's his name , haven't used his services in a long time ) , someone here's got his number , he'd prolly do that before his first cup of coffee.

He pops right up if you Google gunsmith Edmonton. (780) 455-3006
Don't expect a lot of smiles or friendly banter with Rod but he knows what he's doing. Cash only so come prepared.

Rod Henrickson is great at that kind of stuff. I wouldn't choose him to build a gun, but that stuff is up his alley. I don't know anything about the guy in the mall.

If thinking of KSA, recommend a call first.

KS arms DBM won't fit on Tikkas unfortunately, Rem models or similar models only. If, however, they can do installations, then that would be nice.

how so ?
(I prefer their bottom metal over the HS as it is a better design.)
KS copied the HS precision stainless model but left out the ejection / stabilizing springs on each side of the mag. Coping is the best form of flattery mind you.

The mag release on my gen 1 HS bottom metal inside the trigger guard is awkward and sometimes needs a bit of a fight to get to work. KSA release protrudes more and is much easier to operate.
