    Factory stock?


    Not sure if this is the right sub forum but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a factory or after market stock. This is a 110FP in .308 that I bought used. Any help would be much appreciated. Im still new to the Savage line and bolt actions in general if you can't already tell. Anyway here are some pics.

    Also from the serial number this was manufacturered between 1988 and 1995. Thanks again.

    Aftermarket, looks like a Bell&Carlson.

    If you remove the action from the stock and take a picture of the forearm. We can tell if it is a Bell&Carlson or another manufacture.

    I have never done much to a rifle besides field stripping my AR. Upon re installation of the action is it as simple as putting the screws back in and everything is back to normal or could the barrel get canted(for lack of a better term) from the stock? You guys are opening a can of worms on my questions

    I hope you take your long guns out of the stock on occasion to clean them. This is where most guns rust (even stainless).

    Yes take the screw forward of the trigger guard and the one in the fore arm of the stock out and gently lift the action away from the stock. While out it is a good idea to add an anti rust to the bottom of the action like barricade or other similar products. I will apply car wax to the barrel and the action if I am going go hunting with the rifle in a moist area of the US.

    If you have rust on the bottom of the barrel or action use some Hops #9 to Remove it then apply oil.

    When putting back the action make sure you line it all up nice and straight and re-install the screws.
    25 inch pounds - wooden stocks (Hand tight)
    45 inch pounds - plastic stocks (Hand tight plus a turn)
    65 inch pounds - composite stocks (Pillar bedded) (As tight as you can get it)

    If the barrel gets canted then the stock was not properly fitted to the action and will cause accuracy issues regardless if it gets "canted" in fact I have seen where the barrel is canned one shot and then not the next because of poor stock fit.

    This is basic maintenance on a rifle and should be done at least annually to a long rifle used regularly.
