She was feeling photogenic tonight. The camera doesn't pick up anywhere near the character this piece of wood has but oh well the results will speak for themselves soon enough.

I have a hard decision to make and what colornto make it. I already have a custom blended mahogany and black walnut stained .270Win thats gorgeous so that color is out. What would you do?

.270Win. Be easy on her she's seen her fair share of woods walking as she is my dedicated deer rifle.

As of today I see an issue with my magazine. I will need to get a different follower. Anyone have the part number for a 7.62x39 follower? .223 should be fine right?

Can you explain what the issue is?

[futurerider103]

Can you explain what the issue is?Round sits too far backand and when i push the bolt forward the round tumbles

Oh interesting. You could just purchase a Savage 7.62x39 mag, part number 55221.

My guess is that you would have to call Savage for just the follower.

[futurerider103]

Yea I've been looking for the follower with no success.

Today i did most of the finishing work on the stock. I took the bottom half down to 500grit. I only did the bottom because I still have to contour the top half with a belt sanderhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/35f3d8175d40c413b791d670a2c468d8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/eff96ff5263b20bf5285688aff116be1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/63e1b4c60fb072d3fe895339702d1b8b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/de8b657ae48755585d5b578b212dbe7c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/f3718982856ab7d80d2052c8456a2e33.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/dc41e1cacd84a67f50d7fe971f57efda.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/c0143ea06dd00017edac753964ad001c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/8f019ec7c5356db065c227b0c666059b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190127/345113b8251024a1f67751185a7d2fc3.jpg

Pretty stock!

[futurerider103]

I sanded for about 3 hours today. My arms are beat

You will need the mag and follower as the followers are specific to each mag as they have notches in the sides to match the dimples in the magazine boxes.

Round sits too far backand and when i push the bolt forward the round tumbles

Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

I just had this same exact issue when I screwed my .284 Win barrel onto a short action 110 and feeding from a .308 magazine. The back tab on the mag housings angles towards the rear a little at the top, allowing the top round(s) to sit further back. As a result, they sit back further than the bolt can reach to get behind the case head so when you go to chamber a round it slides over for 1/2" or so then catches on the body of the case and pushes it forward ultimately resulting in a jam. Was also gouging the heck out of my brass.

Took it out to Fred and had him examine it and determined the easiest solution was to simply grind some thickness off the back side of the front baffle on the right side that acts as the bolt stop on the sear to allow the bolt to come back a little further. Didn't need to take much off, roughly 3/32" to get it feeding properly and reliably.
