Remove the three screws on the bottom of your stock. Remove barreled action and set aside. Remove trigger guard. Save screws. Place old stock with magazine and side button in the SS Classifieds. Get a tactical stock of your choice inleted for a savage dbm centerfed model. Using your left hand to hold the stock, insert the barreled action that you removed from the old "button on the side" stock. Hold the action secure in the new stock using fingers and thumb. Propping the butt on a table or the floor may help. Install the DBM frame and insert the muzzle end screw first and engage the threads 3 turns. Insert the trigger gaurd and hold with thumb. insert the middle and rear screws and tighten. Having the muzzle pointed upwards when tightening insures that the recoil lug is in contact with the supporting surface. You may run into some screw length issues because of the differences in the thickness of the aftermarket stock compared tothe original. Too long will cause binding of the bolt you will need to grind and deburr till they fit. It may beneccessary to buy some extra screws in the 1/4-28 persuasion. I buy them from Mcmaster Carr.
