Been working on this project for a while now. I wanted to get owners of Savage Axis rifles more options. So I took my magazine catch to the next level by adding a spring loaded lever that allows you to use the 10rd magazine that Savage makes.
Took me a while to make these but I think they are worth it. It seams to function flawlessly. You can see below some photos of the prototypes. I send a few out to friends and they gave me some feedback. After that I was able to finish off about 23 of them and have them anodized black.
I love the Black Anodized finish. It makes them look good and anodizing has a much harder surface finish. It will protect them from wear and years of use.
Also I am bundling my bedding pillars with these. I think it will help get the correct depth set for the magazine so it feed right. I found that many Boyds stock vary considerably and are sometimes insetted to deep. Installing the bedding pillars first will help minimize these issues, though I have had no report of it yet. Must mean they are doing their job.
My own rifle with all the upgrades.
