How to Replace a Savage Rifle Stock

Savage rifles are available in a variety of calibers and are known for their quality and reliability. Savage rifles are popular with shooters worldwide. Savage rifles feature top-loading models and models that are equipped with hinged magazine floor plates that accept a detachable magazine. The procedure for removing the stock is nearly identical for both kinds of rifles. The only tool necessary is a 5/32-inch Allen wrench. Before removing the stock of your Savage rifle, open the action and verify that the rifle is unloaded.

Things You'll Need

• 5/32-inch Allen wrench

Instructions

1. Remove the rifle's bolt and turn the rifle over.

2. Use your 5/32-inch Allen wrench to remove the retention screws located on the front of the trigger guard and in the middle of the fore grip stock. If your rifle has a floor plate, open with the release button located at the front of the plate. Opening the plate will give you access to the forward screw.

3. Separate the stock from the rest of the rifle.

4. Place the rifle receiver into the replacement stock and install the retention screws.
