    Gunsmithing Savage 110E Bolt problem

    Yes, all the parts interchange since 1967. The only things that need to match are the firing pin diameter with the retaining pin diameter. The two firing pin diameters are .100" for the new firing pins, and .150" for the older firing pins. I believe the hole in the retaining pin is .005"...

    Gunsmithing Savage 110E Bolt problem

    Looks like it is out of stock everywhere. Midway shows them as "overdue". I can send you one if you would replace it when they become available.

    Gunsmithing cold void help needed

    What everyone is trying to tell you (very nicely in fact) is that what you want to do isn't going to fix your problem. How do you get $3000 into a rifle and still have a POS factory barrel on it?

    Gunsmithing Savage Sear Spring Install?

    I use a screwdriver with a torx or allen bit to push the spring and spacer into the correct position while pushing the pin by hand. Those round type bits are mor forgiving and provide some control while trying to line everything up and slide the pin in. It usually takes me a couple times...

    Gunsmithing Does any of the Hides gunsmiths work on savages?

    A lathe is the most accurate way to shorten it. I've also done it carefully and slowly on a bench grinder. You need to shorten it by the amount the bolt lift kit protrudes from the cocking sleeve. You can also put a same thickness washer under the BAS head if you don't want to shorten it. If...

    Gunsmithing Does any of the Hides gunsmiths work on savages?

    Several hundred rounds will also work wonders in addition to polishing the cocking ramp in the bolt body. When you installed the bolt lift kit did you shorten or shim the BAS? If you didn't, you probably increased your bolt lift.

    Gunsmithing Guns in a Fire

    No it won't. Homeowners usually have small limits on "valuables". Even then, what is covered, is only paid at a depreciated amount.

    Gunsmithing Savage long action 300WM to .338 Lapua

    It's actually based on a shortened RUM case. Devin later found out that it was easier to form from the Dakota case.

    Gunsmithing Any fixing this or scrap metal

    He drug the dimple on the recoil lug around the action face.....a couple times. The trigger and complete bolt are worth a bit, but the action is toast.
