Has anyone ever seen this a Hollow BAS.

Yes...they're on about 50% of the models.

Wow I have never seen one, out of the 100 or so that I have taken apart, some one I sent a "bolt lift kit" sent me a PM saying that's what he had, so is there any way to make it work?

Any gun with the newer bolt release by the trigger guard will have one. The firing pin on these guns has a tail that protrudes through the BAS to act as a cocking indicator. Pretty much the same as an Axis or 220 slug gun, and more likely than not it will be how all 110's will be in the very near future as it saves Savage a couple cents in production cost.

Cokes on you Billpa

Gotcha! I thought about it and came up with nine possible definitions that I thought could fit and interstingly enough did not come up with the correct one! :)

Thanks.

Now I have a stupid question.....All of my Savages have the allen head BAS or the slotted BAS, how do you unscrew the hollow ones like on the Axis that have the loaded chamber indicator sticking through the rear of the BAS? I haven't had an opportunity to look closley at one.

You take the bolt assembly out of the action, then de-cock the bolt. Then remove it just like any other allen head BAS.

No, it will not work. The lift kit you are giving away goes in the same spot as the cocking indicator.

Not to be smart, but you should really know what it will or wont fit before you give it away, and edit your post to say so. That way people with a newer style bolt wont try to fit something that doesnt fit their application.

On the same token, before somebody takes an item they should make sure it fits their application as well.

Take the bolt out. Uncock the firing pin. Use an allen wrench to remove BAS. Sorry, I did not see previous post.
