I only use the floor-plate drop at the end of the day just to make sure there isn't any twigs, dirt, grass, or anything in the magazine. Just drill into him the safe way of unloading it and he should be fine. Just run drills (something you probably do anyway) on proper unloading procedures. I'll check a few of my sources for Savage parts and see if anyone has something laying around but it more than likely isn't going to be a cheap part.
