Thank you so much. Frustrating how you didn't show how to bend the tabs though. I figured it out. Use a pair of channel lock pliers with the top jaw on the very end of the tab and the bottom jaw on the edge of the view slot. Go gently and gradually, testing the clip in the gun. Its easy to get it too tight, but if you do just use the top jaw of the pliers to bend them back up. Functions beautifully. No more frustration in the field Hallelujah!
What I did with my dads rifle is, I took a hammer and i hammered down the two tabs that ride along that metal strip in the magazine well. And i banged them down so that they squeezed on the tab. Easy fix. Works like a charm.
I just bought same gun only 22 mag,..squeezed tabs in ,fixed the same problem, works perfect now, you would think a 460 dollar gun would have a small issue like that fixed at the factory, oh well, still a nice rifle, thanks for help ,
Thank you thank you! ! Thought I had real problem with my 93r 17 but your suggestion fixed everything. Now it feeds smoothly and the bolt action is silky just the way I like it. I also had problem with shells popping out of the mag but bent the cartridge retaining tabs over and now they stay where they are supposed to. Subbed your channel. ..thanks again
I know this is an older video but that was a great fix I also thought that my 22 mag was complete trash I thought it was also the lips and the magazine turns out it was exactly what you showed thank you so much I never even thought of that but I always thought that the magazine wiggled a little too much good fix
Thank you very much sir… I put around 30 rounds through my new 10rd mag then all hell broke loose. Luckily this was a quick fix out in the fix with a leatherman and she runs great again
I just bought one and have the same problem with 3 different clips. They were very loose and would rotate down slightly and the nose of the bullet would hit the steel and not the hole in the barrel. Savage said the "L" bracket needs to be adjusted. I could send it to the factory or take it to a gunsmith. I ended up just putting a piece of tape or 2 on the clip to get it tighter on the slide. Works like a charm. Cut the tape about a quarter inch wide and place it on the rear of the clip. So then when you slide it up the L bracket, it is tight and not loose. It may require more than one layer of tape. I also took some fine sand paper and deburred the top of the clip where the bullets slide out to reduce the friction. Hope this helps.
the hunterfishergather fix worked perfect factory new mag 10 round lose as hell now works and enjoying my rifle go easy little at a time use the channel locks check until perfect this way. the rivets will not pop because your using the view slot thank you

This did the trick for my model 93 minimalist 22 wmr. I used a channel lock pliers and went slow. It's rock solid now

Thanks for the help! I love my 17 but it’s been annoying dealing with this issue
I had the same problem I just put a little strip of black tape on the magazine so it wold't go in too loose and problem solved.
Thanks, I signed up! Looks interesting and informative. The rifle I shoot and reload for the most is a Savage 12 VLP.
