Savage WSM Extended Magazine modification

[nbpbborg]

All, searched and could not find this posted, so wanted to share what I did to increase my Savage Model 16 in 300 WSM magazine capacity from 2 to 5:

Purchased OEM part# 110930 aka 55185 (10FCP / 10FLCP 10 round magazine).

Bought from Cheaper than dirt: https://www.cheaperthandirt.net/prod...e=&from=Search

Popped off the metal top of the 308 format mag box. Swapped in my OEM WSM mag box and follower. Popped it all back together with the 110930 spring and plastic baseplate. Voila! perfect fit, function and holds 5 WSM rounds. Can fir 6 but very tight.

Hope this helps, sorry if duplicate info for some.

I have pics but won't let me post (new member?)
