The "L" Clip (magazine retaining clip) is used to secure the rear of the magazine box at the correct height for proper feeding. It also holds the rear of the receiver at the correct height once the "Clip" is installed. If you have a new Boyd's stock it may not have the pillar bedding that is standard in the Savage factory stocks. You will have to have your blind magazine stock inletted for this clip. Why not do it when you are installing the pillars.
Option two would be to have the new stock inletted for a DBM or Hinged Floorplate feed and then you will not need the magazine retaining clip.
