Gunsmithing MacMillan Savage stock help!!!

[jhedg]

Just purchesed this stock here, my question is. I have never done a Savage build before, so I am unsure what the pillers ar to look like. as you can see the rear piller it is split, is that what it is to look like. there was a repair tag on the stock from MacMillan. Any help would be appriciated

That picture looks like the rear pillar. They normally "split" like that to make room for the trigger assembly. It looks ok from the pic you posted but it help to see more. I would say it needs bedding for sure from that pic.

Yes, that is correct the pillar needs to be notched since the sear/bolt release is very close to the rear action screw.
