You can buy them on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Savage-Axis-...item2599123647 or http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_saca...+trigger+guard Or you can buy a replacement METAL trigger guard from Boyds http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Search...rigger%20guard
those wont work on the bmag, the bmag trigger guard is different than a standard savage otherwise I would just machine one myself, I solid modeled it and to machine one is REALLY complex... Even with my CNC 5 axis machine it would take more than one setup and then still might not work
To make just one on a cnc mill would not be worth the time. I set up to make several, and it takes 2 dedicated fixtures and a special radiused mill. You have to fixture the parts a minimum of 4 times. Unless your'e making a coupla dozen, it would be quicker to make it on a manual mill.
Yep and the way that it latches in the front not sure I can get it to work correct.. Easier to find a take off or wait till monday and talk to savage since this gun has other issues also... He just wanted to go hunt over the holiday in 2 weeks but he might just have to use another rifle instead

stock
I already sold my syn stock off my skinny b-mag or I would have one, and I don't have my heavy barrel b-mag back yet from savage to take that one off ( boyds stock sitting here waiting like I am)
Well just got off the phone with Savage, Rifle is going back to them tomorrow..... owned it exactly 6 days...
That sucks. My very first Savage Model 10 had a plastic triggerguard. It broke too the first time I tightened the action screws- and they were loose when I bought it. Had to replace it immediately. I'm ok with plastic in non- critical areas for cost-cutting, but not on something like a trigger guard that is essentially a big washer for the rear action screw. That's not ok. I've made a point ever since, to check carefully for plastic parts before buying a new rifle.
what sucks is we have had the rifle a total of 6 days and we bought this for our hunt in texas over thanksgiving, now 6-8 weeks if we are lucky to get it back from savage... going to go get him another rifle to use while we are there.... I own 11 savage rifles and the quality on this one is HORRIBLE, and 6-8 weeks for replacement, come on!
I agree. That's why I said it sucks. They can and should do better.
good luck on getting it back in 6 -8 weeks, they have had my HB B-mag since June 2nd replacing it
