Reply With QuoteLet me know how it turns out. I have been thinking about doing the same thing with an old Long action flat back. I just need a source for the bottom metal. Any leads would be appreciated.
Has anyone run this stock yet? I just received mine and my barrel shipped today. The current rifle is a 110FP blind mag with top safety release.
Apparently according to Stockys I need to buy Savage Ultralite bottom metal and mag to use with the stockys stock.
Has anyone worked with this stock yet or a similar conversion?
Thanks
Harley

This bottom metal option accepts the Axis-style magazines with the retention clip built into the bottom plate of the magazine.

In looking for a mag to order, you may see stock photo's on vendor sites of the old-style of retention clip that is just curved plastic rather than the spring-loaded slide button on the example above. The old style hasn't been made for a couple of years now so even if the pic shows the old-style you should expect to receive the newer version which is a vast improvement over the old ones.
