This is an older model Axis which the clip does not use the stock as the clip retainer.
Would another model have the same piece? If so, maybe Savage actually does still have this piece in stock.
Or Brownells or Midway
Just curious so I got out my Model 10/12 manual and my Axis manual.
The Model 10/12 manual does indeed show a part number 13 called the frame assembly. Basically the 'bottom metal' that accepts the standard Savage DBM.
The Axis has no such part, and does not even have a part number 13. Now, to be precise, my Axis is not one of the new models, so, when Savage changed the Axis stock they may have added 'bottom metal' like the model 10 series.
PS the op can easily check his rifle to see if he is missing anything by inserting the magazine into the stock. If there is nothing to latch to then he is probably missing the frame. If it does latch, he has nothing to worry about.
