Description
The MDT Hunting Bottom Metal opens up the Savage 110 short action to the whole world of AICS pattern magazines. Instead of being locked into factory mag options, you get to run 3, 5, or 10 round steel or polymer mags from a bunch of different makers, so you can set up your rifle for a quick backcountry stalk or a longer day at the bench. It fits both factory and aftermarket stocks, and the trigger opening is cut wide enough to clear popular aftermarket triggers, with a slot underneath that lets you get at pull-weight adjustment screws without pulling the whole thing apart.
What the 110110BLK Locking Latch Actually Does
The standout here is the magazine release lock. MDT built in a low-profile, ambidextrous latch that tucks up against the front of the trigger guard, and it can be locked down so your magazine doesn't drop out when you're crawling through brush or bracing off a pack. On top of that, there's adjustable tension control that lets you dial in exactly how much force it takes to release the mag. Set it light for fast swaps, or firm it up for peace of mind on a hard hunt. It works a lot like a cross-bolt safety, so you can leave it unlocked when speed matters and lock it when it doesn't.
Built to Take the Weather with the MDT Hunting Bottom Metal
This piece is machined from anodized aluminum, so it's light without feeling flimsy, and the hardware carries a corrosion-resistant finish to keep rust at bay after wet mornings and dusty afternoons. The profile is deliberately slim with minimal snag points, which matters more than people think when you're moving through timber or reaching over the rifle. Paired with a flush-fitting MDT polymer magazine, the whole underside stays clean and low.
Installation is straightforward, and MDT includes washers to fine-tune the torque and thread engagement on your action screws. Fits Savage 110 short action rifles set up for AICS magazines. A gunsmith may recommend action screw pillars depending on your stock for the best fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines will the MDT Hunting Bottom Metal for the Savage 110 accept?
It's designed for AICS pattern short action magazines, which opens the door to steel or polymer mags from a range of makers in 3, 5, and 10 round capacities. That means you can pick the capacity and material that fits how you hunt or shoot. MDT's own flush-fit polymer mags pair nicely for a clean, low-profile setup.
Does this fit any Savage 110, or only certain models?
It's made for the Savage 110 short action platform set up for detachable magazines. Because Savage has run several bolt-release and feed configurations over the years, it's worth confirming your specific rifle and stock inletting before installing. If you're unsure, checking your action screw spacing and bolt-release style against the fitment is the safe move.
How does the locking magazine latch work?
The latch sits low against the front of the trigger guard and can be locked so your magazine won't drop out when you're moving through rough country or bracing off gear. It also has adjustable tension, so you can set exactly how much force it takes to release the mag. You can leave it unlocked for fast swaps or lock it down when security matters most.
Will I need a gunsmith to install it, and does it clear aftermarket triggers?
Installation is generally straightforward and MDT includes washers to fine-tune action screw torque and thread engagement. The trigger opening is cut wide enough to clear popular aftermarket triggers, and the slotted guard lets you adjust pull weight without full disassembly. Depending on your stock, a gunsmith may recommend adding action screw pillars for the best fit.
