Thanks for this info, made a copy for my rifle info book

Thank you for the information, but searching the Savage parts websites didn't come up with an answer (To the question:
You searched for "savage 110 magnum pin" )
I got EVERY part ever made for every Savage, (and then some, it seems)

OMG.

I expected 2 (the .145 dia and the .095. ok, maybe 4 if they and included long action and short action.... But I thought the 110 part would clear that up...)

I have an older (e serial number) 110 7mm Rem mag, with the old style firing pin. I want to update it to the smaller diameter firing pin and PT&G bolt head and bolt head pin, but it is not easy, without making phone calls I guess...

Anybody have an answer?

Thanks,
Paul

Paul, the link below will take you to the part listing at midway, which also lists the Savage factory part number.

Questions like this are often better answered in the appropriate board here as more members will see it.

It appears the WSM actions went away from CRF to push feed in 2009.

It appears the WSM actions went away from CRF to push feed in 2009.

Savage ditched CRF when they switched from staggered-feed to center-feed magazines which started to be phased in starting in 2005 and everything was center-feed by the start of 2008 (.223 and .204 Ruger being the last to be switched over).

So if changing a .308 to a 6.5 PRC do I need just the magnum bolt face, .095 magnum firing pin, and a bolt face retaining pin with the smaller diam firing pin hole? And maybe a magnum front Baffle?
