OP JBO69 Campfire Regular J Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 1,206	I recently purchased a new 57m and wanted to buy a spare clip until i saw the prices. Anschutz really likes their clips. Are there any less expensive options for a spare clip? I have heard you can modify a Savage brand clip from Brownells? How exactly can you do that?

Yes, Savage clips can be modified to work in an Anschutz. You just carefully file/moto-tool away some metal to form the same cutaway slot on the front & rear ribs just below the top of the mag. PM me your email address and I'll send you a pic comparing the two mags. Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession. Robert Kelley Weeks (1840-1876)

Just bought the Savage mags (4-5), all worked just fine with NO modification. Don't know if they're the same. Good Luck George Associate Gypsy Order of Sleepless Knights Originally Posted by GOD ...

Price $14. Seems like worth a try for that price. Mine works as is, no modification. Not as elegant looking however. No pretty smooth plate on the bottom. Has S stamped on bottom. Don't let your friends see you with this low class magazine in your high class rifle. Joke.

But, I haven't tried any of the savages mags yet. I did buy a few Annie magazines because I didn't ask around first. Good luck. You should be able to get a handful for what I paid for the two I bought.

Just tried this for my Savage Anschutz M164 - they must have changed them because I could not get it to work. Ended up wasting $20. I eventually found an Anschutz magazine at Cliff's Gunsafes in Boise Idaho. They had a few earlier this spring. $55 each.

As I recall they were about $12 each when I purchased them - a far cry from Cooper and Anschutz prices for them. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

Actually I am well aware of the difference between the two but it has gotten so common to call them either name that most folks know what is being referred to. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.
