Model 16 conversion to Accustock bottom metal ???

[bamastrike]

I am putting an Accustock (model 10 4.4" Bottom Release) on my Model 16 308 hunting rifle. I know about the accustock recoil barrel lug, which is no problem to change, as I have the barrel nut and tools. Question is: what bottom metal could I purchase, likely from Savage, that I could possibly use the original Model 16 Detachable flush 4 round magazine? Or do I have to purchase both a new bottom metal and magazine?

Surely someone has been down this road, I love my Savages, on how accurate they are, and easy to home gunsmith work on.

Thanks
