A few months back, November/Decemeber -- I purchased a 110BA LE that was direct from Savage.
I had issues with the rifle from the get-go -- Accuracy was off, all over the place 3,4 moa...The rifle wasn't feeding properly...Accutrigger issues...
Savage recommended I go to a Smith in my area so, I did.
Come to find out the recoil lug from Savage was a horribly thin, decrepit piece of metal that was actually causing 99% of my issues, it was also ground down at a pretty heavy angle...So, I made the decision for my smith to replace it.
Fast forward to now -- Purchased an XLR stock, sold the old chassis...Wanted a better accutrigger so, upgraded by a gentleman that had a custom and was trading out for a Timney...
Come to find out, the threads are crooked so, the barrel sits at an angle and the recoil lug was ground out, originally so that the barrel would sit "true" on the rifle.
This is a stock Savage barrel, I've done nothing but, add a brake...
My question at this point is, what can I do? -- It's clear that either the receiver OR the Barrel's threads are crooked because the barrel sits at about a 190* angle...
I have 0 intentions of shooting it as is however, in my discussions with Savage, I'd have to send the entire rifle which, I don't have at this point.
*I should note that, I do have another barrel coming, it's currently getting melonited -- However, it would be nice to solve the threading issue prior to that barrel arriving.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
