Convert Your Bottom Bolt Release To A Top Release

[Nandy]

I have and oxygen acetylene torch and wonder if I use that just on the tab it will not affect the sear hardened part that contact the trigger ...

I was thinking more propane or map type gases

I don't exactly know what you want to see, all you do is pull the pin where the sear rides on, and replace it with the new one, and then put the pin back no tools necessary, easy peasy.

I doubt propane will do it, not sure Map will do it and I would worry about heat transfer do to the time you will have to heat the sear up. I think oxy/aceti will do better as using a #1 or #2 tip you can direct the heat better. I have all 3 but I think I will start with oxy/aceti.

Thank you Dean but they are sold out as well.

Yep. When you post something on the internet somebody goes out and buy every last one.

You got to be kidding me, WOW I am speechless, if that's the case that's just wrong.

You can get them from savage directly, but you will have to have them sent to a gun smith or an FFL.

Just wait for them to be available. Im sure that is not going to be like the ammunition shortage...

[stangfish]

I bet Fred has some.

Someone is trying to corner the market, on trigger sears.

Dean

I think I may have found some, I will keep everyone posted.

I have found some stainless steel sears, and they seem to be more forgiving when bending them plus the coolness factor, they are 21 bucks I have the part number, so PM me if you want it because I am not posting it on the forum, since some one scooped all they others up "shame on them" and if you do PM me make sure you are contributing member of this forum post wise, please don't ask me for the part number if you have a half dozen posts, I will give it to you but only after I feel all the frequent posting members have had a chance to get there's a couple at a time hopefully.

Savage never made them in stainless....they are just plated to look that way. Also the "silver " sears were never made in the accutrigger version, which has a staggered notch in the center of the engaging surface.

I ordered a side release sear as soon as I saw scope eye's post. I got it and was able to bend slightly and attach to my action and it worked. But it looked like there was a stress fracture had started at the bend. It snapped when I tried to bend back closer to the action with only a slight amount of pressure. So go slowly, check often and don't bend more than absolutely necessary to just clear the action or it will snap as noted by sharpshooter.

You should be able to braze that back with 5 or 6% silver brazing rods like what is used in the hvac industry. Make sure you clean it good and use paste on it. You should be able to do it with propane but if you have access to oxy/acety then use a small tip like a number 1 or so. You dont need to get it too hot, as soon as the steel start turning red you are closer to the temp. It is under 200% probably...
