Mr. Baker,
Should the magazine be able to move side to side? seems like it does a little too easy. I called Savage, CS is going to send me a new magazine, at least I will have a backup if things go awry.
I fiddled with it some last night thought I made some progress with the lips but its still doing it.
I'm just picked up a Thumbhole AT-ONE for my Savage Model 12 FCV. It required some light dremel work and sanding to get it functioning but it was well worth it.

Looks good. Nice groups too.
I ordered one for my 6.5 in walnut. I'll post some pics when I get it and mounted.
I did find out that Boyds doesn't yet offer the At One with thumb hole for the savage short actions yet. :(
Sweet! I sure like mine so far! I got it on the model 12 FV 223.
so the 12 FCV that has the drop magazine? Mine has the blind mag, I wish it did have the drop mag.
Just an update on my Model 12 FV feed from magazine issue. I called Savage, they had no problem sending me a magazine box, z spring and L bracket. Got that and then I decided to see what I could find out.
To update the issue, if I loaded rounds in the magazine ( this is a 223 ), as I started to slide the bolt forward, the round would come up out of the mag so fast that the base half of the case would be above the bolt, thus jamming and making a mell of a hess. It did this in both the factory and Boyd stock. I did relieve a bit of wood in the boyd to see if that helped any, no it did not. I made darn sure everything was seated well and properly, compared the 2 magazines, etc., nothing seemed to work. So I started looking at the z spring, what if I could decrease the amount of "spring"? I got my vice grips and turned them down just a bit smaller than where the metal made a turn on the Z, and crimped this down, then I did it one a second turn, reassembled and tested. It Worked! I have fed 56 rounds so far and have not had 1 failure.
So, if any one else has that issue, you might look at that Z spring and compress, thus lightening the tension, just do a little at a time, but it worked for me.
Thanks and shoot well..
Glad that worked out for you,
The last time I tried to manipulate one of those Z shaped magazine springs it snapped. I do know that the spring steel is brittle and doesn't always take kindly to bending especially in the existing bends where it bends back on itself.
Sounds like either you pulled a rabbit out of a hat or I need some spring bending lessons and maybe a different pair of pliers :)
Yes I suspected it was, I was pretty gentle with it. Don't know if a heat treat would work on not either. I do know its pain..
I would recommend, if you are having this issue and the gun is new, trying to have Savage send you a replacement set of parts, Magazine, z spring and L bracket, before attempting..and again very gentle with
it.
Looks good!
Received the walnut At1 thumbhole today, had to relieve some material so the trigger gaurd would fit. The front of the slot was so shallow that I had to grind down to the action screw hole and flush the front of the trigger gaurd. Some slightly off fitting around the front plastic panel but hey for the price I'm ok with it. Anyway a picture. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...00b4b7ebe6.jpg
Looks nice, what optics are you using? I would you describe then, when it comes to function and clarity?
