Savage is sending out a new part, it'll be in next week.
I'm sure the lost washer will materialize shortly thereafter :p
I went searching for some Moly Lube, none to be found at Cabelas or Army/Navy/Etc...
Thanks for the tips on working the action, once I get this all pieced back together if the bolt lift is still tough I will work the action handle up and down a couple of thousand times.
