My rifles magazine falls out after every other shot how can I fix this issue?

[Bomani Chisulo]

The rifle is a Savage 111fcxp3 in 300 win mag, it gets really old, also another question can I convert this rifle to a hinged floor plate? Or buy a kit to convert it or do I gotta make my own?

EDIT: I do have another question I am redoing the stock of my Marlin 336 and am engraving the stock did away with my initials as they didn't come out right so I am painting on my tribes logo as well as the Kenyan flag in the circles where my initials were to and am wondering what would the best sealer to go over the stock as well as the acrylic paint?

Man I hope this in the right category, I suck at using forums.

As far as the 111 goes, theres aftermarket bottom metal that rocks, try Stockade.

I think a couple of sprayed on coats of clear polyurethane wood finish would seal the design and protect it.
Use whatever poly the finish of the stock is whether satin, semi-gloss, or full gloss.

Before spraying, I'd put a coat of paint on some scrap wood and test how compatible the poly will be with the paint you're using AND with the stock finish.
Note that some stock finishes are not compatible with some wood finishes.

If the magazine is falling out, it could be the magazine latch not working right, or the spring. Below is a link to the parts list, and the two parts.

Also, make sure the latch is locking into its recess on the magazine.
