This isn't a "false" 10FCP-SR. It's the real deal, as now offered by Savage. They dropped the original 10FCP-SR from the Law Enforcement lineup, cheapened it up a bunch by installing their proprietary 10 round mag box, black Tupperware stock, and deleting the scope rail from the package, and gave it a new SKU number. While researching your post yesterday I googled Savage 22442 and within 30 seconds I knew the specs of the rifle. I knew it didn't use the AI mags, didn't have a scope rail, and came with a black stock. 30 seconds that would have probably saved you this headache. The vendor won't take it back probably because its exactly what was ordered, so now you're basically stuck with a turd. i don't believe that Savage has ever made a reliable plastic magazine, so as you've found, it isn't going to work for you. Your best bet is to move on, sell the imposter, and buy the original FCP-SR. You'll be much happier in the long run.
