Stock swap on Savage 111 and Stevens 200
It has taken me a while to figure out what I wanted and what I needed to convert these from blind mags to DBM setups. Also wife had knee replacement so had to nurse her as she is a little more important than stock swaps, so that took about six weeks. I finally ended up ordering stocks from Numrich Gun Parts, black for the 111 and snow camo for the Stevens 200, then had to order the bottom plastic piece for both from E.A. Brown. After a little dremel work to make DBMs snap into place they both feed without any problems and snap in pretty easy. Next problem was bolt wouldn't open so finally figured out action screws were a little too long, and got some new ones to fix that. Could have used grinder but wanted some spares anyway as I have 2 Axis I am swapping barrels around also. Only thing left is to go shoot and post pictures, going to Chicago to see grandkids for a week so that shooting and pictures will come later. The Savage 111 started out as a blind mag 270 and is now a DBM 25-06, the Stevens was bling mag 7mm-08 and have not changed calibers yet but have 243 barrels one 20" and one 22" when I get ready. This has really been a pretty easy project and I have learned a lot by doing this. May end up ordering metal trigger guards but that is a easy and fast replacement. Pictures will come later.
