Did you try savage directly?
Dean
I've got an opportunity to buy a Savage 111 for a decent price. The only problem is that it has the side-button drop magazine and a plastic stock. If I get it, I'd want to replace the stock (probably with a Boyd's laminate). I'm assuming that means I need to convert to blind mag. The problem is that I can't find any long action blind-mag magazine boxes in stock anywhere.
Questions:
Anybody got a lead on who has the magazine box in stock?
What else will I need to do a side-release mag to blind mag conversion?

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
You have to have a part number when you call them, so go to midway and look up the part #, midway has there number and also savages part #, savage will ask you for the serial # just tell you have the part# you want, believe me they don't want to hear about your conversion or modifying, don't forget it comes in two parts the box and spring part, and maybe a third part depending if it is a center feed it will also have that L shaped clip.

just call savage and talk to Effie. Tell her what you need and as long as it is not a savage restricted item she will help you out.

I am sure going to remember that name, every time I have called, it's like the Spanish Inquisition with the questions, I always end up with what I need, but never the less.

Those side button rifles I believe go back before the change in management. In which case they will not service that rifle with parts or information. I could be wrong on that but don't be surprised if that is the answer you get from Savage.

Side button magazines were made from 1966 to when they changed to the centerfeed magazines, and even continued on beyond that to a very limited degree in extra el-cheapo package rifles.
