I've got a savage model 12 to which I've added a neat Boyd's laminate thumbhole stock. There is a problem in that the third cartridge in the magazine (on the right side) won't feed into the chamber. When I put the original plastic stock back on it feeds fine. I suppose the bottom of the stock is pressing on the magazine. I can't imagine why only the third cartridge won't feed, but that is the case. The only thing I can think of would be to inlet the stock out further to relieve pressure on the magazine (this is a blind magazine). Any ideas or suggestions as how to remove wood from the bottom of the stock would be appreciated.

It would be pretty easy to do with the appropriate dremel bit, where are you located?

I'm in Yazoo City. I've got a dremel tool set, what kind of bit?

I would use a rounded end carbide cutter, but thosee arent easily found. One of their rounded wood bits would do ok i gues, they just arent as easy to control to me since the cutting teeth are much larger.

I had a little bit with what looked like a coarse grinding stone on it. Took off about 1/16"; looks like its going to work. No problems with the stock last year. It must have shrunk around the screws or something??? Thanks for the helpful suggestions...
