Hello all,

I have the "Dicks Special" Savage Mark II (cheap scope, sight rails incorporated into the bolt housing) It's been flawless as far as reliability goes, and has outstanding accuracy. Shooting steel at 150+ yards is a blast.

Anyways, I was shooting it the other day and after I took a shot, a small set screw dropped onto the ground. I know for a fact that it is not a part of the scope assembly, or my bipod assembly. It bounced away down from the gun.

The set screw is about 7/16" long, with a hex head. Roughly 1/8" in diameter.

I looked all over the owners manual and around the gun and can't figure out where it goes.

I do not remember there being 2 gas release holes, one on the right one on the left. I had thought the set screw went in there but it appears not to be threaded.

Gun functions fine, fired it once after a close inspection, performed perfectly. I plan on shooting it tomorrow at the range and want to get to the bottom of this!

Thanks!
