Savage Axis Magazine Upgrade for Plastic Tubaware Stocks

- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- This kit allows the use of Savage 10rd magazines. It also opens up a larger realm of magazine compatibility. You can see just how easy it is to install. You will usually need to make no modifications to the stock. A few have to be trimmed in the rear for the rear range to catch the inside of the stock but this is very easy to accomplish.

When will these be back in stock?
Wow! Seems like I am writing a book but, it may help some others. I had to use some needle nose pliers to tweek the feed ramp to make the 10 round magazine feed. I put one round into the magazine and first tweeked the rear feed lips to let the round rise to where the bolt caught it and pushed it forward. However, as the round was beginning up the feed ramp the rear of the cartridge was not high enough and the bolt overroad it causing a jam. Tweeking the lipd until it wiukdcstay high enough was triak and error but finally now it works and will feed a stack all the way through the last ine. Just take your time and tweek a little at a time until it works as desired. Good luck from Texas. Oh, mine is a 6.5 creedmoor. Your 308 may have no problems. Via con Dios, amigos.
I converted my own to a 6.5x47. Not had any feeding issues yet. its a slightly shorter cartridge so I was surprised at that. The stamped steel that these are made of those seams to vary a lot.
Mine came today and is now installed. It was almost as easy as the video..seems to work great..The only problem is the short one is flush and won't drop free. I have to push out from open action or shake real hard.
Come to think of it there isn't anything to grab on to. Will it drop out with cartridges in it because of the weight?
@@GrimstodDesh yes, I have perfected my shake it out but with cartridges in it the come out easy. Your part works great. I took a lot of still pictures as I worked. It took me more time to get my tools than to use them.I am super pleased.
@@xd45acpshooter Thanks you!
@@GrimstodDesh mine won't latch at all and the front starts dropping out. (installed on savage axis xp 30-06 ... so I had to use electrical tape to hold the "matchless" mag in place so I can use the rifle now.
@@davecadieux1977 Sounds like you purchased the wrong kit. This is a drop in fit. Or there is something dramatically wrong with the stock of your rifle.
Got the item today and tried to install it. The silver washer was too short and the screw was just hanging by a thread on the action if I want the magazine to hold in the stock. If I tighten the screw really well to the stock the magazine won’t latch. Do I have to shave the latch? There is little metal left on the latch to shave before it gets to the spring. The back magazine shelf rides really well on the plastic part though.
Thanks for your feedback Jee. The aluminum was does not have to be long. It nearly centers the bolt in the hole.
I think I may have been talking with you on Ebay messaging. If your are the same guy I am sending you a few parts to fit yours.
Hello so you know if this works for models that shoot .223? also what magazine in 223 will this allow me to use?
There are no 10rd 223 magazines available so no point to using it.
Manufacturer number 55262 is a 10 round 223, will that work
So, your part will convert the regular Savage axis stock to accept the 10 round Savage magazine and the regular axis mag with the plastic latch removed, right?
Yes that is correct.
PERFECT! I am waiting for mine already ordered.
Will it work on a long action?
Ok, I really fixed the problem of removing the flush 4 round mag. Basically. I cut 1/2 coil from the spring and spread it a bit. Now there is clearance to release the mag but it is still held tight. You might have a bit more chance to drop it when you don't want to but I'll take that risk.
have you gotten these to work with the savage axis 2 hardwood stock?
I have a separate design for that. Its on my website. The Hardwood stock is actually the same stock made by Boyds. So just use the one I make for the Boyds stock.
I finally received the 2 new "55185" Savage 10 round magazines which I ordered at the same time (5/4/23) as the Desh Magazine Upgrade kit for my brand new Savage Axis 308. Today I installed the Desh Magazine catch and it appears to seat up too far to catch the tab on the magazine. If I don't screw in the allen bolt, the catch will grab the magazine. I will try to find a small washer to match the size of the collar that the bolt slides through that fits inside the plastic stock. I am concerned about spacing because the allen bolt only screws in a few threads as it currently. Once I find a correct spacing I will use locktite thread locker on the screw. Please advise. Thank you!
the bolt does not threading far. It's a rather thin part of the receiver that it threads into.
I do have shorter levers in stock. Most of the time though its an inletting issue of the plastic of the magazine.
@Grimstod Desh Can you give your take on the Savage 55185 Mag vs Savage 55264? Savage shows the 55264 for 10/110 Axis 2 SA's while the 55185 is for the Model 10 FCP-SR. It's somewhat confusing with both being 10 rnd mags.
That magazine uses a rear release lever similar to what other rifles use. In my opinion it is a better way to do it since you do not then need a strong springs for the magazine release. However were are sorta committed to the way savage has done it on the majority of their rifles.
Is there a new link for it on eBay, your eBay link says it was removed
deshind.com/product/savage-axis-plastic-stock-magazine-capacity-upgrade-catch-for-10rd-magazines/
I will update my videos links. Thanks for alerting me about this. I prefer to sell them on my website now.
Will this work for an axis in a boyds stock?
I make a separate one that does work. I have been making that for almost a year now. Here is a link to it on ebay. www.ebay.com/itm/Savage-Axis-Boyds-stock-magazine-capacity-upgrade-catch-and-Bedding-Pillars/253925576426
@@GrimstodDesh and it will work with the AT one?
@@kramnahillac Yes. I have fitted those in at shows.
@@GrimstodDesh ok thanks a lot bud!
I had this same question. And luckily it's been answered. BUT, I noticed you didnt have an install video with tips and possible issues like you do for this and a few of your other products.
Unless it's just not on this channel.
I am interested but I have concerns. For instance the bedding pillars that come with the kit... I noticed a lot of people that bed and pillar their axis into a Boyd's stock have to profile the rear pillar a bit because of some issue with the stock. I want to buy one of these kits but am hesitant because these products arent offered separately which makes me think you really need the pillars for the mag catch to work properly and if the pillars are too thick for the small amount of real estate in the Boyd's stocks or need to be profiled in some way to work I may just end up leaving it alone.
But if you can please make a video of how to install and troubleshoot to a small degree I'd be thankful as hell and I bet I could get my friend to buy one too.
I'll even do a video review etc yo try and spread the word about your product.
So no modifications need to be done like switching out the bottom plate? I have a Savage Model 11 TRophy XP 308 that uses the axis 4 rd magazine.
For the Model 11 you should not need this kit at all. Just buy the 55185 magazine and it works.
@@GrimstodDesh that magazine doesn't work in the Trophy XP model 11. It requires the 4 rd magazine with the cheap plastic clip on the side. The same one used in any nee axis model
@@robertreed769 I apologize. The new ones do then work. If you have bottom metal I ma not sure about those. I have to get my hands on one yet and gun stores around here have been cleaned out all year.
@@GrimstodDesh Installed it today. I had to leave off the pillar (silver washer as you called it in the video) to get it to work. With the pillar installed, the rounds didn't want to feed. Left the pillar off and cycled about 60 rounds without one jam in the chamber. Magazine is a bit loose in the front, as it moves around freely. More up and down than side to side, so I was supposed that none of the rounds jammed. I did have two rounds get stuck in the magazine itself about half way up, but that's not a fault from your product and need to research why. Still need to take it to the range and test it under fire.
@@robertreed769 THANK YOU for the feedback Robert. Sounds like the Model 11 has a light difference in its dimensions. I will have to buy one and see if I need to lengthen the lever. How much longer does yours need to be?
Will it work for the 22.250
I do not recommend it.
Will this work with the new Savage Axis stocks?
How new are we talking? Did they change them this year?
Who makes the magazine that you show in the video?
Savage does. Its a Model 12 magazine.
will it work on a savage axis 2, 300 blackout?
Savage already makes a 10rd 223 magazine and since 223 mags runs 300 BL there is no reason for the adapter.
@@GrimstodDesh Really? I cannot for the life of me find one.
@@OKC_forreels ya everyone is sold out these days. They will come back online though. Also have you checked out Dark Eagle mags?
installed as shown (the short mag won't stay in, and the supplier has no 10 round mags, so I had to use electrical tape to hold the 4 round mag in place and now I have to feed one round at a time via the ejection port on my savage axis xp 30-06. This is not what I had in mind
You can simply remove it to use the original magazine or snip off the plastic tab.
Dark Eagle magazines makes 10rd 30-06 magazines.
What is the mag model #
55185 is the model number.
Will it work on a 3006?
Yes. If you cut the plastic tab off your magazine. If you want 10rd mags for that DarkEagle makes them from shotgun magazines.
