Hello all.

Another issue with the Savage 99.

Firstly I took it out again and with different ammo it did not do any more cratering of the primers so that is good. The place I bought it also had a no-go gauge and it did stop it from closing up ( if only by a tiny bit tho, is it normal for it to stop closing with just a ~1/10 of an inch left of travel on the lever?)

So aside from that, while at the range today, after about 9 rounds I noticed a 1/4 inch triangle of wood starting to pop up right at the top back of the Tang. it did not complete split out ( but I figure I could of pried it off easily enough, and I didnt of course) it is mostly clean still with just a tiny mark in the finish where it is, with the diviot of wood being able to be pushed right back in to the stock.

Anyways. From some video watching and just general knowhow, I figured I would remove the stock, put some wood glue under the split, let it dry, then take out a few thousands of the wood so that it does not push on the tang any more. Does this sound right?

Do you all have any other tips on what I might want to do?

Thanks
