    Savage 64f magazine clip


    I recently purchased a semi auto 22 Savage64f . after successfully using it on the farm for gophers i noticed that the magazine had been chewed away by the bolt and the 22 rounds had eaten away the metal that holds them in place. now the mag auto ejects all cartridges when more than four are loaded in a ten round clip.. Now my Question is Is that over use, something wrong with rifle or cheap material that they need to address at the plant. any help would be greatly appreciated , my kids are very disappointed they cant shoot gophers right now.

    The 64 magazines are made from zinc cast and are somewhat soft, but I think your problem lies elsewhere. It sounds like the magazine frame assembly is sitting too high to allow the magazine to come into contac with the bottom of the bolt. No doubt you will need a new magazine, but I would place a shim between the mag frame and the receiver where the screw attaches it on. Make the shim thick enough that the bolt does not touch it, but close enough that it feeds properly.
