And so it begins... update again... may the face-palming begin...
McMillan just charged the final "leg" of my order to my Visa...
$706'ish USD (on top of the initial $70USD deposit).
Not including the duties and taxes I'm about to pay in a few weeks. :o
I was deadset on the A5-style stock with cheekpiece, and no other left-handed game in Canada for less moneys. So I did the "buy once, cry once" dealio.
P.S.
I'm already eyeing A Shilen barrel for my build. :D
Damn Savageholics. Look what you got me started on. :D

you get dinged by customs for things you send over for work and get returned to you? They making you pay for the "improvement"?

Blue:
The CBSA forms require that they collect taxes on the declared value for insurance, or retail, whichever is greater. Once upon a time you just checked the "warranty work" check box on the forms, and all was fine. Not so anymore. They will collect the full taxes from you regardless now, and require you to submit a lengthy and obscure paper trail to get those taxes back. As an importer, they've now made it even harder, as they're beginning to deny fully legitimate claims due to "not enough proof that actual warranty work was involved". The only way to ship it for warranty work state-side without paying taxes again is going the no-insurance-route and declaring the value to be under $25 (you can probably see why I'm concerned by such an option) on the return leg of the trip. That, or properly insure the parcel, and take your gamble CBSA will eventually pay you back the taxes you paid a second time...

Ok, I see where you at now. To much involved to not insure.
Re: And so it begins... UPDATE ON MY LAST POST... McM royally messed up!
Exactly, too much $$$ to not insure. I'm expecting an email shortly from them... I sort of get the feeling that someone is lighting a match under someone else's posterior prior to a reply, or someone is waiting to cool off before replying. :D
On a last note, should the recoil lug in the front of the magazine be pillar'ed as well?
Re: And so it begins... UPDATE ON MY LAST POST... McM royally messed up!
Didn't think so, but I was curious... I only ordered the two pillars for the action.
You're still missing it. I wanted two FACTORY installed pillars. As far as I was explained, these are molded-in during the fabrication phase. If I wanted to give my 'smith extra work, I'd have him work up some loads for my rifle. I was always annoyed when someone came in at work and say "give me so and so", but later decided "well you may as well add this and this, and that too". Then people wonder a gunsmith has such a hard time managing... Well... Time! ;D
Re: And so it begins... UPDATE ON MY LAST POST... McM royally messed up!
I don't know what the heck I was thinking...
Now... This may be the most monumental fail on Savageshooters.com ever.... But these pillars... Any pillars... They tend to be threaded inserts, with equivalent screws... Correct? Or did I just dream-up a flaw in a flawless stock? :D
Re: And so it begins... UPDATE ON MY LAST POST... McM royally messed up!
The only pillars i"ve ever seen in a stock are two empty "pipes"(for lack of a better word) that the bolts go through to tighten into the ation.

Re: And so it begins... update again... may the face-palming begin...
Okay, I'm an idiot. They're there. But wondering what purpose a pillar that only extends half-way into the stock may actually have as a bearing surface... Meh.
I seem to have lost my camera at a critical time, as well. :(
Where's the face-palm icon when you need it?
Re: And so it begins... update again... may the face-palming begin...
If it doesn't extend through the stock, it's not a pillar... it's an escutcheon. They are used to support the head of the screw and keep it from pulling through.
Re: And so it begins... update again... may the face-palming begin...
I'm starting to wonder if someone stole my camera at work, I could've sworn it was in my suitcase...
