    Gunsmithing Savage fns11 30-06, converting to 7mm wsm?

    Re: Savage fns11 30-06, converting to 7mm wsm? I've done this exact swap, except mine was on a 116. All you need is a magnum bolt head, new barrel, and a magnum centerfeed magazine. You don't need to go to a DBM of any sort. You don't need to go to a large shank barrel or action. It...

    Re: 338 Norma barrel(s) for Savage 110BA I wouldn't even rate it as high as a kitchen table job. I've done several Savage barrel swaps while sitting in my easy chair.

    Gunsmithing 338 Allen Express Remix. . .

    Re: 338 Allen Express Remix. . . A few years back Kirby experimented with a double lug arrangement. One on the action and one on the barrel. If I remember correctly, the barrel lug was held on by a barrel nut like a Savage. He never could get them to shoot. This must have been one of his...

    Gunsmithing Savage 10 action vrs 12 or 16 actions?

    Re: Savage 10 action vrs 12 or 16 actions? You should check the action screw spacing. It changed on the short actions when we got the accutrigger, centerfeed, round rear.

    Gunsmithing bolt lift kit for my Savage ?

    Re: bolt lift kit for my Savage ? I use a 357 case trimmed down with a 5/32" bearing epoxied in. I trim the BAS by the amount that the case and the bearing protrude from the cocking sleeve. I think it helps. But Monte is absolutely correct. The best way to smooth up the action is to shood...

    Gunsmithing Stevens .30-06 to 7mmRUM good idea?

    Re: Stevens .30-06 to 7mmRUM good idea? Sure, all it takes is a new barrel and bolt head. I have an action that has been a 223 and a 338 Edge with many stops in between. So long as you stay with the magnum sized bolt head or smaller, you're good to go.

    Gunsmithing Can I adjust a non acutrigger

    Re: Can I adjust a non acutrigger I've done a ton on non-accutrigger Savage triggers. It depends on what trigger you have. 2-screw or 3-screw triggers will both benefit from a lighter spring made out of lighter spring wire. 0.040". If you have a 3-screw trigger, you will be able to adjust...
