A device designed for the Savage Model 10 rifle platform allows users to adapt the firearm to accept detachable box magazines, often of higher capacity than the original factory configuration. This typically involves replacing the existing bottom metal and potentially other internal components to accommodate the new magazine system. Specific kits are available for various calibers and magazine types, offering choices in manufacturer, material, and capacity.
Adapting a rifle to use detachable box magazines offers several potential advantages. These include faster reloading times, increased ammunition capacity, and the convenience of quickly swapping between different types of ammunition loaded in separate magazines. Historically, many bolt-action rifles like the Model 10 were designed with internal magazines, limiting capacity and reloading speed. Aftermarket modifications, like these conversions, provide modern functionality and versatility to these established platforms.
