If the rifle is a centerfeed, (which it probably is) you could send the stock to SSS and have them inlet for the DBM/HFP hardware. Purchase whatever bottom metal you'd like, and use existing mag box/follower.
SSS could sell you the parts for the HFP.
Or,
You could become a paid member for $12 a year, and purchase the HFP bottom metal that I have listed in the classifieds.
(Shameless plug, ;) )
would the hinged floor plate or detatchable box be better?
Yes. ;D Actually, I have the hinged floor plate on my Model 16 and I do like it. It makes unloading more convenient since you don't have to the unfired rounds through the action and is better than a blind magazine in that regard. It's also a bit more "elegant" if that word can be applied to a Savage 16. ;)Quote:
