I just got a call from Richard's Microfit stocks. Their getting ready to inlet my new stock and wanted to verify that it was DBM. Then she asked if it was a bottom MAG release, to which I said yes. Now I'm concerned that she may have meant to ask if it's a bottom BOLT release. She said that some of the older models had a mag release on the side. I've heard of a side bolt release on older models, but I've never heard of a side MAG release.

Can anyone please verify that some older Savages had side MAG releases?

Never mind. My bad. A search brought up an article on the various mag systems Savage has used. I now see what a side mag release looked like. I guess the folks who do this everyday know what their doing.

Always good to find out you didn't mess up. What stock did you order ?

I got the barrel channel opened up to 1.250" to accommodate my 1" bull barrel. Ordered the Savage factory pillars from Stocky's. I plan on doing the pillars and glass bedding.
