Awesome!

Well, i took off the stock, but only after i used a screw extractor on the front bolt that someone boogered up.
Is Savage the best place to get a replacement? Also the magazine spring had like rusty looking dust on it, should i replace that also?

[mnbogboy2]

You can get the 1/4-28 button head screws at your local hardware store. If you don't find the exact length just cut them to the length you need. The rear screw length is not fussy but the front one if too long will hit the bolt head. You want to just clear the bolt head to take advantage of all the threads in the reciever.

Use steel wool to get the rust off the mag spring. That rust happens, is normal and probably won't hurt a thing.

If you have a fastenall in your area they have the bolts you need. Only problem is you have to buy a box of them. But they are about $10 a box.

A well stocked Ace Hardware should have the screws you need that you can buy one by one or two by two.

Congrats on your acquisition!

Well, I purchased the rifle for $160 out the door

Ya done good. If your lucky, it may have the older 3 screw trigger that will adjust down to a nice trigger pull. True Value also carries the 1/4X28 bolts in various lengths.

GaCop, thanks!
i will check the hardware stores. Been busy lately, but will check and see about the trigger.
Hopeing i can locate a decent used standard barrel soon. If not, i will save up some coin and order one.

[the Black Spot]

Well, i have a barrel on the way(or will be). $35 shipped from a generous man on this forum!

[Wayne Nixon]

Glad you found a barrel! You have all the tools to change it out? Where in AR are you?

Have a friend who has the tools and has made the changes before.
Lonoke area.
it'll be time to locate dies and a lee case trimmer soon.
Have 60 cases coming($8 shipped!)

[the Black Spot]

Have more components coming in soon. Old barrel is off(friend had to do the pipe wrench and stand on the nut wrench to break loose).
Hoping the new barrel will be installed shortly.
Only have $272 invested(donor, barrel, brass, case trimmer, bullets, dies, and reload book)

[the Black Spot]

Well, still waitin for gauges to show up. Once barrel is set-up i can get back together. Already acquired bullets and brass.

[LHitchcox]

I do not buy no go gauges. With the barrel nut system the go gage is all that is needed. I use a layer or two of tape on the go gage to make it a temporary no go.

I have swapped barrels on a long action flat back without any issues. Scope mounts (one or two piece) are available as are stocks. I would buy it without hesitation. What scope mount would you recommend? Does anyone make a rail mount that is configured for the flat back receiver?

I have a flat back 110 in 25-06. Great deer rifle.

EGW (Evolution Gun Works) makes one.
The problem I have with them are that they sit up so high off of the action and also sometimes depending on the scope bell it wants to hit the rail before I can get the scope in the position I want. In my opinion the rails are just a bunch of extra material serving no positive purpose on my rifles.

Just my recommendation but I like a 2 piece setup because they provide better access to the loading/ejection port for both loading and maintenance.

[mdharris68]

thanks

[the Black Spot]

New barrel is installed. Will get everything back together as soon as i get it back from my friend.
How critical is the inch pounds tightening on the action screws?

[mnbogboy2]

Your plastic stock has steel pillars. I usually torque these between 45-55 inch pounds. Some run less but the flimsy plastic stocks bend with recoil and have a tendency to work the screws loose.
Others may have different opinions but this works for me.
