Well Santa Claus hung around Florida after Christmas and delivered this
extended 10 round Savage .223 mag for me!!
This thing cycles flawlessly and is fun to shot. Out of 2 - 20 round
boxes has not jammed up yet!
Now the confession.....it was not Santa but my good Floridian friend
fgw_in_fla that made it for me!
Thanks Frank, you did a GREAT job!

This is good to know as I plan on doing a 223 build this year once I get my reloading equipment in order. Frank is an awesome guy and his mags are top notch. I run 2 of his 308 mags on my rig.
I want!!!!
id love to get one for my 308 does anyone have a link?
It looks like an AR-15 mag body. Am I correct in assuming it is a modified AR mag?
not an ar mag cant remember what it is but its not an ar
Its a Mini 14 mag extending the Axis mag.
And you're welcome, Ken. You were quite helpful with "Project Boomerang"
It was fun, too.
PS - When ya gonna get a real scope for that rig?
Got a pic of the mag by itself? Like to see the details, inquiring minds ya know!
Does this help you any?...

Why did you decide to switch the followers out with the mod ? Did the original follower not fit the mini 14 magazine body ?
In this case, the mini 14 mag follower worked out better than the original Axis follower. Either way the follower has to be reshaped to function smoothly. I don't like to rely on recoil to help the next round slide up into position.
It's not 100% necessary to use a mini 14 / steel mag. There's guy on here (somewhere) that did one out of a plastic extension. I prefer steel or aluminum.
If you reeeeally want to get funky....
How about a 30 round AK74 mag?

By the way, it should be noted that I make these for guys here for cost of materials, parts & shipping only. I'm not a vendor of these. The idea came from another guy that quit making them when his state laws changed and I think having only 4 rounds in a mag sucks.
I don't want to get any of the bosses PO'ed at me or anyone else and I don't want to be in violation of any or the rules. For a change.
Hence, I don't "offer" these for sale. I'm strictly an Axis lover (Axis lover: See OCD, chronic, reoccurring) and like tinkering with them. I do respond if anyone asks about them via email / PM.
Just so y'all know....
here are a few pics with the new 10 round mag

What mag is the donor mag ? Was the donor welded or epoxied in ?
Fgw_in_fla
What bipod are you using and how much was it? Also who did your mags for you can you pm me?
decided to do my own after reading this and i like it alot,, here is the thread with video
http://www.savageshooters.com/showth...3-15rd-mag-DIY
Pretty cool. I saw a project where someone took an AR blemished lower and cut out the mag well. He then cut his Savage stock inserted a mag into the AR magwell and got the part into proper position, Next he epoxied the parts into his Savage stock. Now his Savage takes AR mags and reportedly runs fine.
well i thought about that my self but dont want to modify the opening on the bottom of my reciever and bottom of my bolt to make all that work and yes you would have to do all that for the mini 14 mags as well,, its a lot more than just getting the mag in there
Anyone have any ideas about a long action version of this? I have a 30-06 that I have been searching far and wide for an extended mag for. It seems everyone that makes/fabricates theirs is usually a short action only solution. Thoughts?
try and locate the 20 round browning BAR militarty rifle and search for mags there, its an 06 box mag
That does look awesome. I'd attempt that but I'd ruin a pile of Axis and Mini 14 mags in the process. And to think I just sold my 6.8 Ranch rifle with all the mags. I'm thinking a 22-250 might be possible with that combination. Some guys have all the talent!!
I am just 24 hours old to AXIS and hooked already. I'd love to have more than 4 shots with my 22-250.
I just want to jump on the bandwagon and state that I have both a .223 & a .308 length Frank made magazine. Flawless. The bees knees!!
