This seems to be a problem that comes up. The release tab is the weak link to the setup for sure. I have seen a few people use superglue to hold it in place, then cut a small metal strip, bend it to match the contour of the release tab, then epoxy it to the tab. It is ugly, but it works. The aluminum flexes enough to allow it to keep the tab together for a while. It will happen again eventually, or you can call Savage and get a replacement floorplate.
