Hello. I am having trouble seating a fully loaded (5 rounds) magazine into my Savage. It spits all the rounds out into the magazine well when I try. It's also difficult loaded down to 4, 3, 2 rounds. Even empty the magazine is pretty finicky. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm wondering if I need to send the magazine back or not. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I guess I'm the only one.

The only problem I had was the floor plate wanted to slide off, so I pinched the edges of it with pliers, problem solved. Never had what you're decribing. I would advise trying another mag.

I have not had a problem but when I ordered extra mags for mine from savage they needed the serial number as they were differences in some of the mags. I would give savage a call.

Thanks, guys! Appreciated. I figured that would be the consensus. Mike, I'm surprised to hear that they would need a serial number to match up the magazine. I wonder if I have the "wrong" one in mine. I'll call them tomorrow.

Ive had to bend the lips on the top of mags in on a couple 93's I had to keep the rounds from spitting back out, but never had quite what you are describing.

There will be a savage sub-forum. I'd bet you'll find an answer there.
