I'm trying really hard to keep it fair. If you want one, I'll sell one, BUT, I figure if you don't have the money in the mail by the time a week has gone by, or at least some sort of communication, you lose your place in line and I'm going on to the next guy. (Not directed at you Bullseye077, but thanks for bringing it up)
Three magazines left that passed QC, with two guys currently swapping PM's.
After that, I'll have to get some more shop time to see if I can get the kinks worked out of the remaining magazines.

Since you have your money back, AND my buddies magazine... When do you plan on shipping it to him??
Yes, I am asking here, since you refuse to respond to PMs. We are waiting for your reply.

Being the peacemaker that I am, I could always weld a tab on the magazine to help keep the front in place, it's not a difficult mod, and it works well. Then again, getting into the middle of Y'all's squabble is probably not a good idea
As of right now, all of my magazines are spoken for, pending funds.
If anyone is feeling froggy, and handy around the shop, I have two "reject" mags that I'd be willing to talk to you about. They could probably be made to work, but I am done messing with them.

Thanks for the offer, but I already gave him his money back. Now, my buddy is waiting (for quite a while now) for the magazine to be shipped to Texas. I made good on my end, and now just waiting for him to do his part.

For those currently doing business with me, I got a bit banged up over the weekend (rappelling, but nothing serious), so I'm moving REAL slow.
Right now everything I have is sold pending funds. If the funds do not show up in a week, I'll move to the next guy on the list. The Post office moves pretty quick, and there are a few people waiting with their fingers crossed...

Trying to acquire one of the conversions if you can please pm me as I'm new to this site and trying to manage with my phone .
well, for all those interested, z71rat only really made them in .308, but due to new laws where he lives, he was forced out of business. I stated making copies, but my business partners wandered off, and it was not worth the time and effort on my part to continue. So, for right now, the best option is to build your own I guess.
I do have two left that nobody has purchased yet, plus my own stash of 5 (two original z71rat mags), but I suspect 10 round savage axis magazines will be hard to find in the immediate future. Pity, I am quite pleased with how mine turned out.

Time and effort... yes. Worth it... maybe. Profitable... no.

Do you still have any of the 30-06 Axis 10 rounders? I know you stated you had a few and no one picked them up, I got the money and will send today if you do.
Email me if you do, [email protected],
By chance you don't, is there a build thread for a DIY, I am very capable but wouldn't mind seeing some more pictures.
Thank you!

I have heard of guys using G3 or HK91 mags to get it done too. Don't know what the original creators think of this... I need to either see how one was made or have one made. I'm a industrial machining student and generally have the tools but not the know how really. Any help from Z or Starving would be greatly appreciated.
Also if there are any left for purchase or throw aways available for me to tinker with please let me know here or @ [email protected]

Shoot me a PM with your email address, and I can send you some work in progress pictures. The tricky part is getting the follower to feed (in my opinion) and it is frustrating as all get out when the mag fails to feed at the range. That said, it sure is nice when it works, and I like the ability to slap another mag in VS my buddies top feeding their R-700's. Looks good too
Done and done. Added as friend on here too. I've got a G3 mag cut down and burrs filed, also have a BAR mag on standby in case it doesn't work out. But I'd rather trash a $5 mag before I trash a $30 one, and that's not touching the axis mag.
Z71rat I was wandering if you could make me a 10 round magazine for a 3006 savage axis
Ok guys, work in progress but thanks to Starvingboy and Rat I've gotten my prototype almost finished. I've gone with the cheaper G3/HK91/PTR91 mags instead of the M1918 BAR mags. Once I get the follower and spring trimmed and feeding I'll post pics.
The G3 mag costs around $3-$5 depending on where you look vs a BAR mag that if you can find one in stock, will run you $25-$30. More cost effective on f-ups and for end users. BUT as far as I can tell this will only work with .308 possibly .270
Once I get mine done and get a little range testing, I plan to offer them here on the hide for purchase, with the original producers consent of course.

Rat can no longer make mags. Colorado laws prevent him from selling or manufacturing. Starvingboy was making them for the hide users but his business partners walked out and he no longer makes them either. I'm trying to get a basic .308 mag going but won't say for sure on any other calibers. Sorry mate.
The BAR magazines were only being used on the long action magazines. I only used the G3 magazines in my builds for the short actions. The 243/308 magazines were the primary ones. The long actions are a whole different pain in the rear parts.

I see... Well I better understand now. I've just finished my first mag today. It's ugly, but a learning experience. Wasn't too hard once I figured out exactly what needed to be done.
I wouldn't venture into anything other than the .308 and other short action mags I don't think. Seems the long actions as you so honestly put it, would be a whole different pain in my rear parts.
I had working designs for 6MM Rem, 22-250, 243, 260, 6.5 Creed, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39. 308, 7MM-08, all in the short actions using the G3 magazines.
I had working designs 25-06. 270. 30-06, all in the long actions using the BAR magazines.
The only one that I never got completed, was the 204/223 magazines, due to the double stacking of the rounds.

Don't forget my very functional 300 WSM magazines, Donnie! These are also based on the G-3 mag body.
Oh yes, I had forgot about that one. That was a good R&D project!!

Until the laws get changed, I will be out of business. Starvin was the only other one that I was aware of that actually had a working model. However, he is out now too.

SAVAGE AXIS .223 REMINGTON HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES
Following my above posts, and to answer some of the questions we've received, hope this helps.
We have successfully developed a high capacity magazine for the Savage .223 rifle. We can produce both 10 and 15 round magazines. Send private message for price. We provide the magazines for conversion, or we can send stock numbers and you provide mags to convert. Delivery times will depend on demand, and are on a first-come-first-served basis.
For the time being, we are only offering magazines for the Savage Axis 204/223 REM rifle.
Include your state in your message because we cannot ship to states with legal magazine capacity limitations. Limitations apply to: CA, CO, DC, HA, IL, MD, MS, NJ, and NY. We are located in Ohio, so Ohio residents will pay sales tax. We expect that serious gun owners will be aware of their state laws and abide by them.
There is a link below to view the YouTube video which also includes photos of the design at the end.

Sorry, most of us cannot ship to Australia because of US and Australian gun laws, and export licenses are prohibitive. Good luck.
Thanks to all our followers who have inquired about the Savage Axis 204/223 high capacity magazines, and especially to those who have placed orders with us.
We now have a website up and running, although still a work in progress. Visit us at Snyder Magazines | Mount Gilead, OH 43338

Okay, since we have had so many requests, we are working on a prototype for the Savage .308 magazine too...will let you know here on the hide if we are successful with this or not.
I'm looking for a couple of the extended mags for my savage 111 - 30.06 - if someone can PM me that would be great.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! pm sent and thank you!
working on the 308 right now but it's a work in progress. you wouldn't believe how many little fussy details makes this work or fail. one of my current hangups is the shortage of savage factory mags. watch the forum here at the hide. we will post when we have a dependable quality product ready to market. thanks for your interest and have a great year.
information on payment terms and progress on the magazines we make can be found at our website: www.snydermags.com. we hope to have a working .308 by the end of January, but it will only be available in 10-rounds...15-rnds would make the mag too heavy for the Savage clips.
thank you for your interest and for following us on the hide.
