Hi, I am new, I looked and did not see much info on this, if there is sorry I missed it. My savage 110 is older and has the staggered built in mag, I want to drop the action in the oryx chassis but will need a clip then. What clips work in this rife and how? Do I remove the built in mag box or will the detachable mag fit into? I have never messed around like this so any help is very appreciated.
Firstly, is it at least a Post ‘66 rifle? If it’s a Pre-‘66, forget it. If it’s post, the Action will fit & function. Yes, the staggered Magazine box would need to be removed. It comes off easy. Small screwdriver on the edge & pry the lip off. No biggie. However, a bit of machining needs to be done on the bottom of Action Magazine well. The Maxine used in the Oryx is an AICS. Several manufacturers make these. They are either Long or Short Action. If you are not a DIY person who has done other kinds of fabrication, modification, etc… then I do not recommend it. Unless you are ok with it being a single shot.
It is a 1989-2001 based off the F in the serial number. I have done some machining and fab stuff on non guns so I would be down. I do not want a single shot, I want the detachable mag as that oryx chassis is not a closed frame but i suppose I could custome that to have the internal mag as well. Whatachining would need to be done on the "action Magazine " and what exactly is that? The fixed box removal does look easy enough, thanks for your help!Originally Posted by Dave Hoback
Yes, it will work. The machining is straightforward. Once you have the Oryx Chassis and an AICS magazine, you simply need to machine on the bottom magwell of the Action. So the Magazine seats & feeds correctly. Unfortunately I have nothing I can show you except the magwell of my my own Model 10. But really it’s just understanding how the magazine seats.
A picture of the megwell would be helpful, I believe I understand what needs to be done, thanks.
On the Right is the Savage. The left is a Rem 700, just ignore it. Essentially the magwell needs to look like this. Compare it to yours & once you have the parts, you’ll be able to see what needs done.
Note: I would not advise doing anything until you have all the parts. You only want to remove enough material for the magazine to fit & function.
