    Gunsmithing DuraCoat® Aerosol over Savage Mark II FV-SR Questions

    That's good to know thank you. Did you tape off the insides of the receiver when you painted it? Looks like you polished the front half of the bolt? That picture is not the FV-SR model, which model is that a picture of?

    Gunsmithing DuraCoat® Aerosol over Savage Mark II FV-SR Questions

    I have a Savage FV-SR and was wondering if anyone knows if I can paint the barrel and receiver without having to sand it down first? I emailed Duracoat and they said they don't know what the original finish is on the gun so they can't really give me and answer and just told me to sand it down...

    Savage Mark II FV-SR Slow Build

    I did get my Savage FV-SR Compensator #SAV002 today and was able to install it before sending it off. I think this rifle looks much better now. I just hope it doesn't affect the accuracy..

    Savage Mark II FV-SR Slow Build

    I heard from Savage and this is what they said at the repair facility. "I have spoken with the gunsmiths and I was just waiting another day to contact the engineers. With the pictures you sent me we can tell this rough for our barrels, but we did test fire it and is within factory spec for...

    Savage Mark II FV-SR Slow Build

    Very cool :cool: the choice of accessories looks great. What cheek pad is that mounted on the buttstock?

    Savage Mark II FV-SR Slow Build

    I actually contacted the actual warranty repair building and spoke with someone. I asked him if he can look at a few images and tell me what can be or will be done to this barrel or if it is something I can just repair myself. He is also going to show the images to the gunsmiths in the morning...

    Gunsmithing Damaged Thread. Would you send this back?

    That's what I'm afraid of and why I was so hesitant to send it in for repairs.. I am expecting the response of there is nothing wrong with it and they just send it back or they will just say it's perfectly fine and there is nothing they can do unless I pay for extra gunsmithing work because the...

    Gunsmithing Damaged Thread. Would you send this back?

    Nothing crazy. Just shoot 50 rounds of copper coated bullets and clean it and run another 50 rounds through it, clean it and call it good.

    Gunsmithing Damaged Thread. Would you send this back?

    ok thank you, that's good to know. Hopefully they do good and making things right. If it was a new hire, hopefully it's not the same guy doing the repairs.. I just sent them my address for a return label so I can send it back. Will give a update when I get my return label to see how long it...

    Gunsmithing Damaged Thread. Would you send this back?

    I haven't shot it yet. Still need to buy a scope and rings and everything else first. I might take it out just to break in the barrel, but I want to get my issues solved first before I shoot it.

    Gunsmithing Damaged Thread. Would you send this back?

    I just opened the box and this is what I see after removing the thread protector on my Savage Mark II FV-SR. Would you send this back to get repaired or would you just clean up the threads with a metal nail file and call it good or just leave it the way it is? The thread protector screws on and...

    Savage Mark II FV-SR Slow Build

    The thread protector goes on fine, but the first row of threads at the end are chewed up a little bit and I know that it's not suppose to be that way. The rough threads I can probably live with.

    Savage Mark II FV-SR Slow Build

    Further inspection it seems like the threads all the way down are very rough. A .10 cent bolt from the hardware store as smoother threads. Not sure if that is normal or not? It's not chipped up like the end, but they are rough almost like the machine making the threads was vibrating or off...

    Savage Mark II FV-SR Slow Build

    I just picked up a Savage Mark II FV-SR today for my target only tactical paper killer. :cool: Plans are to add the usual tactical accessories to make it look and function good. Slow build though because I don't have much extra money to get all the stuff for it right away, but I will update...

    Rifle Scopes 200 yard 22lr long range scopes for around $100 bucks?

    ok thank you :) I probably wont know the fine details of what I need until I get a scope and then see what features I need and upgrade if needed from a cheaper scope.

    Rifle Scopes 200 yard 22lr long range scopes for around $100 bucks?

    What are the "Target Turrets"? I tried searching online and was kinda confused on what part they are talking about and it wasn't very clear..

    Good to know, thanks. Those are the rings I have marked down on my shopping list. :)

    Rifle Scopes 200 yard 22lr long range scopes for around $100 bucks?

    That's way too expensive and even if I found the same deal you got, it's still out of my budget. If I would be able to spend that much on a scope, my search would start all over looking for the best scope for $300+..

    Rifle Scopes 200 yard 22lr long range scopes for around $100 bucks?

    Took 3 days for the post to be approved HA!... :( Anyway.. Is there any other scopes that should be added to the list for a scope that doesn't cost more then $150? I need something that's at least 10x and being a zoom lens would be better. I'm searching the forum right now for another scope to...
