Hey Hide.
I have this savage model 12 that I never get out cause it’s just not my style. It’s chambered in 223, has an internal stagger feed magazine, and a heavy as hell unnecessarily long bill barrel. I’d like to bring it into the modern world. I am looking at buying either the Accurate Mag Savage Short Action Bottom Metal Kit: https://accurate-mag.com/shop/botto...er=No+Magazine&attribute_capacity=No+Magazine
Or the Atlasworxs bottom metal kit: https://atlasworxs.com/shop/atlasworxs-bottom-metal-dbm-aics-savage-model-10-11-12-sa/.
With either of these, I would plan on dremeling/routing the existing Boyd’s stock to fit the bottom metal flush.
My overall goal is to be able to run a detachable box magazine reliably in this setup. Eventually, I would also either get a new savage pre fit barrel, or send this one out for a chop to 20” and threading to run suppressed.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? Been done before? With success? Thanks in advance!
