Zach, it takes standard SR-25 AR10 Magazines. The shortened bolt carrier is coated with nickel-boron. Its Melonite-coated bolt has twin ejectors positioned side by side. Savage also reduced the diameter of the firing pin, presumably to save a little more weight. For extra security, the firing-pin retaining pin is screwed into the carrier. The bolt-carrier key is integral to the carrier, and the gas tube receiver is pinned to the key. This eliminates the need to stake the screws that hold a conventional bolt-carrier key and does away with a potential trouble point.
