Savage Axis and 110 receiver threads the same?

[calstar]

Recently got a used Axis for cheap, going to use as a beater/plinker/loaner gun. Its a .308 and and I found/bought a used .223 barrel to replace it. First time I owned an Axis and on the E.R. Shaw site I read this:

Edge/Axis Fitting Information - Original Savage "Edge" Rifles were renamed "Axis". Receiver barrel threads on these rifles are sometimes a little too small to fit 10/110 barrel. E. R. Shaw has dimensioned the threads on their 10/110 barrels so that they will fit Savage Edge/Axis receivers. However, you should remember Edge/Axis is otherwise a different receiver than the 10/110 series... It will not fit the same stocks for example.

​This is the only time I've seen this, does anyone know of any issues regarding this "sometimes to small" statement?

thanks, Brian

I read that too, but never had an issue. I even put one of their barrels on an Axis. Never heard of anyone on this forum having the problem either.

The .260 I put on shoots great by the way.

I never had any problems
