Filler for a Savage cartridge well. Thank you

[gtl1946]

I want to put a plate to fill over the mag. well in a Savage to convert it to a single shot much like we do with Rem.s in converting the repeater action into a single shot using the Davidson setup . Anyone know where I can find such a piece that epoxies in the action covering the well?

Check Midway. They charge ten bucks for this:

I know this shop can be controversial, but Sharp Shooter Supply makes several single shot loading ramps/adapters.

This will not work with the later center feed Savages; it's for the older staggered feed types

If you really want a top notch single shot follower for your Savage, sent it to Greg Tannel and have him machine and glue one of this followers in your action. I've tried others his is the best.

Well, yes and no. If you want something to clip into the top of a magazine and remove in a matter of seconds, you're correct. This is for the staggered feed magazine.

However, my center feed magazine well is filled with lead shot and this device is epoxied permanently on my action so it would take a little work to reverse the procedure and return the gun to magazine feed. Once in place, it works just fine. I suggested the OP use it because I believe he is talking about a permanent (or semi perminant) modification.

Typically quick replies until the $$$ is out of your hands and in theirs. Caveat Emptor.

I’m looking for basically a permanent replacement for the follower that I can glue to the action cutout for the magazine well. I got an answer from SSS and Lisa wants to know if this model is a staggered or center feed.Since all the mag. parts are not present....how would I know???

Do you know what model action it is? The vintage? Worse case you can call Savage customer service in the morning with the serial number and they will tell you. I've called them many times, they are quite helpful.
