I just had a sort of brain flash whilst viewing the Savage Arms website, I'm wondering whether it's really possible to execute. I own a Savage 16FLHSS, the left-hand Weather Warrior, in .308 Winchester. I like detachable box magazines, though. You can't buy a 16 model with BOTH left hand and a detachable box mag, so several years ago I went ahead and got the left-hand since ergonomics were the more important thing to me. Since I bought it, I haven't been able to get a good look at the box mag models to see if they're similar enough to switch out.

My question to y'all is this: is it possible to remove the hinged floor plate internal mag from a 16FLHSS and replace it with a detachable version?
