reconbob Posted November 20, 2025 Report Share Posted November 20, 2025 I have had this magazine catch for years. It appears to be a magazine catch with no "bump" to engage the slot on a drum. It has the Savage S. This is the only one of these I have ever seen. Maybe it is pictured in one of the reference books? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted November 20, 2025 Report Share Posted November 20, 2025 Frank has reference to these in one of the American Thunder books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anticus Posted November 20, 2025 Report Share Posted November 20, 2025 Made for the M1/M1A1 I assume. No need for the drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank I. Posted November 20, 2025 Report Share Posted November 20, 2025 Made for M1-M1A, was part of the M1A1 "upgrade" to lower cost and expedite production. Since the M1-M1A1 had no provision for a drum magazine, the raised area (bump) on the catch to secure the drum was not needed. Other transitional "upgrades" were... Riveted grip mount, "pin" type safety and selector levers, stamped sling swivels, bolt with fixed firing pin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
