Savage model 10 223 mag conversation

[JOHN708]

Does anyone have any experience with an accuracy international mag conversion in 223 with CDI bottom metal in a Savage model 10. If so, any feeding or extraction issues?

John,

I have that set-up in a Sav. Model 12 running the AI mags. The only feeding issues I have had is when I have a
long COAL. If I run the bolt hard they will feed.

Hope this helps.

FYI if its a top load stagger internal box you can get 7 rds 223 case based calibers if you have room at the bottom of the stock to mill about .150"-.200" deeper for the follower and modify the spring. 20 Prac to 6TCU no feed issues.

PDing it helps when they're a-comin' right at ya. 7 is two more than 5 by the old math.

Don't get the AI polymer mags; high rate of dis-satisfaction.

Guys,

Thanks for all your responses. The 223 AI mag info was most helpful.
