So, I botched bedding my rifle and bent my Mark II FV's magazine housing (item 702226). I pressed it back into position using a C-clamp, but now the last round in the magazine will not feed, nosing into the bottom of the barrel just below the chamber. The first four are fine, but the last one reliably fails.
I suspect I need a new housing. Is there a place to get them other than Savage? I've found one at Numrich for a Lakefield Mark II, but I don't know if that will fit my very new Mark II (or a Savage version, for that matter).
EDIT: I discovered that I just hadn't bent the magazine housing back enough. A bit more pressure at the forward point of the housing ironed out the final kink.
