I tried it, still have the 22" match barrel savage threaded. I couldn't get feeding/mags to work, even tried the Savage factory 7.62x39 mags (still have a couple of them too). I think it has to do with having a block in the rear of the mag and then having feed lips that are long enough. The nose kept nose-diving on feed. I'm not proficient in "gradually bending" the lips to make-work, so eventually I gave up. Another part could be having that extra long bolt head block at the rear of the head... which I did not have, this blocks the bolt from going too far back, I think.
I think JAS was able to get his to work...
I eventually turned my model 10 action into a really nice creedmoor target gun.
If there is a way to modify/produce a mag (or mag+bolt) then it certainly would be a great little package...
O!O!O!O! maybe those guys who developed the poly grendel mag... the Amend2 guys.... maybe their follower and feed lips and some other tweaks could make it work?? Or maybe this is just wishful thinking...
