    Gunsmithing Savage bolt handle jump

    The bolt head isn't moving, just the bolt body when the sear releases the cocking pin. It isn't something that needs to be fixed. Even if you did, it wouldn't change the way it shoots. That's part of the beauty of the floating bolt head.

    Suppressors Efile form 4 Limbo

    I'd be willing to bet that your form 4 has been approved already. You are way past normal approval time. I submitted mine at the end of Feb and it was approved at the end of June. However, the email went to my dealers spam folder and he didn't know it. It was another month before I called...

    Gunsmithing savage 110 actions question

    Don't open the threads up. It doesn't need it. Pretty sure you mean magazine, not clip. If it is a centerfeed action it is long enough for an Accurate Mag DBM setup. If you have a stagger feed action, you can lengthen the mag opening to mimic a centerfeed magazine. Accurate Mag makes the...

    Gunsmithing Savage bolt timing and true affected by bolt head swap?

    Part of Fred's time and true is squaring up the bolt head. You can just sent a additional bolt heads to be trued along so they are all matched to your bolt body. The timing work is done on the bolt body cocking ramp, bolt lift kit, trigger, and sear. The truing work is squaring up the action...

    Gunsmithing Separated case stuck in AX.

    Get some of the epoxy putty. The kind that you knead together in your fingers. Push a ball of it into the stuck case and wait for it to set (about 10 minutes). Then pop it out with a cleaning rod inserted from the muzzle.

    Gunsmithing recommend a 'smith- savage re-tap to 8-40 threads

    Savage is a bit of a different animal than other actions. When you have them square the face of the action make sure they square it in relation to the tennon threads, not the bolt raceway. Make sure they don't re-cut the action threads either.

    Gunsmithing Best release agent for bedding?

    I've used JB Weld with very good success. Devcon 10110 is easier to use due to the thicker consistency. Kiwi neutral for release.

    Gunsmithing Where to find a broken shell extractor for odd calibers?

    I've use a method similar to this. Exchange some epoxy stick for the Cerrosafe. The putty is the kind you knead with your fingers. Then just push it into the stuck case. Wait a couple minutes for the epoxy to kick off and set. Then knock it out with a cleaning rod.
