I have a stumbled across a 270 Win short mag, non accutrigger, at a local gun shop. I understand the large shank vs small shank difference but need some coaching on a couple other things. Perhaps this is covered somewhere on this forum.
This action has what I assume is a magnum bolt head with the cutout bottom. At the rear of the magazine area is a finger that sticks up and appears spring loaded. What is that and what does it do? Of all the savages I've taken apart I've never seen one of these.
Any other lookouts, cautions, or opinions ? The gun appears to be in 70% condition.
