I recently purchased a 116 300 RUM. It has the accutrigger, but is a stagger feed. When I took it apart, the magazine fell apart! It turned out to be a 300 WM magazine cut in half, spaced further apart to accept a 300 RUM follower then had a rectangular piece of stainless sheet metal JB welded on each side. I called the guy I bought it from and he assured me he did nothing to the magazine and that the gun itself was ordered from the Savage Custom Shop. I called Savage and they confirmed it was a custom order (maybe after they quite producing them?). At any rate, there does not seem to be a 300 RUM magazine left on the planet, so I was wondering what it might take to convert this to a center feed? I've read where guys making 338 Edges are slotting the end of their center feed magazines to accommodate OAL. Would I be able to purchase a 300 WM center feed magazine and an "L" clip and make this work?

Thanks,

JB
