I am having trouble finding the right stock. I have a pre 2006 Savage SA Action that has the top/side bolt release and action screw spacing of 4.2. Are there any stocks and bottom metal out there to make this a dbm?
 
Savage made a dbm for 4.25 but nobody liked it. When they created a much better dbm they had to go to the 4.41 action to get the additional room necessary for the new engineering.

Would this action work in a xlr, mdt, etc chassis which would allow the use of aics mags?
 
Some chassis have an oblong front action hole to accommodate both actions. On those models you should be able to use the aics.
 
Check out the Trybe r.o.c.s chassis on optics planet. It will accept both screw spacing.

If you'd rather a chassis?
Well, I would prefer a normal stock but can not find one that accepts the 4.2 spacing and aics mags. Do you know of one? I know HS and B&C make one for 4.2 but internal mag only.
 
I'd try getting ahold of grouse. He's a member. And he may be able to point you in the right direction? It's quite possible he may have something for sale?
 
PTG makes an AI mag bottom metal that's compatible with the 4.27 older staggered feed models. I inletted a lefty stock for a guy earlier this year. The bottom metal is a bit "chunky" but worked pretty good. Attached are some pictures of the carving that needs done. That stock was plain blind mag when it started. The guy had a hard time getting someone to do it for him. They are just "different"and require just a tiny bit more brain damage to do it. But if I can do it, it can't be that bad. Just tell your gunsmith that lol.

I looked at the ptg stuff and seems nice and affordable. The real question is, are you interested in another customer for stock inletting?
 
lol! No! That thing is a pain in the a**! I'm always an idiot and do not make or save templates for things when I do them. Figured I'd never be asked again lol. If you absolutely can't find anybody near you to do one, then send me a message. I'm more of a metal guy. There are guys out there that could probably do it in their sleep for cheap. I have to mill everything by hand and and hand fit.
