Uhmm...be careful on this. If You sand the steel it will became quite rough, so that at first spur slipping it will wear out the pads.
Try also to use a stiffer spring.

it needs to be rough so it doesnt slip. The slipper on a savage is garbage and should just be locked down tight anyway. If there was a way to eliminate the slipper on a savage I would.
