Striker Mag

[Ksmirk]

What is the best way to get rid of the goofy trigger hinge part of the striker mag? I am putting the action in a rear grip stock so don't need the hinge thinggy part ;D I will be shooting it single shot due to the COL I'm going to load the 7WSM. Later,

slide the cover off, if a second gen. But I'm going to guess you have a first gen, in which case you need to bend or cut then off. I bent one of mine so they would be there if ever wanted again and put a single shot follower in the box.
Removing the whole mag box and epoxy a single-shot follower to the receiver or stock also works.

I did the ol' screwdriver hammer trick and that sucker ain't movin'! hit my dang finger said a few choice words and gave up. I have NEVER had an issue getting mag boxes off a Savage but this on is really testing my nerves.

Yep it's a first gen striker, I've got in my mind to just grind the thing off and if I want a repeater down the road just get another mag box and call it good. I was going to pop the mag box and bed the follower in, that has worked well in the past. Later,

down the road..LOL.. it is already obsolete! try it with out the screw driver, just the hammer.

I see some constructive precision work with the dremel and a cut off wheel ;D

Your right this sucker is never going to be anything like it was when it was made! now I need to get a list of goodies and sell them to recover a little of the funds that have left my pocket. I guess I let my subscription run out as I don't see the classifieds! I'll have to take care of that here pretty soon. Later,
