Can you make a Savage factory 10 round magazine feed 223?

Nice scuzzy!
What was the process to get the baffle installed?
How does the magazine release?

it is a new-ish rifle, so I had never taken the bolt apart. getting the primary bolt out of the bolt was a bit of a bear....

the magazine releases with the tab just in front of the trigger guard, typical AICS style. it is a bit stiff now, but even with 10-15 releases, it's already loosening up.

Is the mag release and the bolt release the same lever?

[scuzzy]

no, it's a top bolt release. PTG makes a different model bottom metal for the bottom bolt release style. each release is independent of the others.

While I am not in the magazine building business anymore... Tom Snyder is!! He has exactly what you are looking for, and it is a really slick setup. He couples the factory 204/223 magazines to a Mini-14 223 magazine body, and you have a super nice and very functional setup!! Check him out at www.snydermags.com. Tell him Rat sent ya!!
