    Help recycle a rifle

    Just received an offer from a member of another forum as I had been looking for a short actin Savage junker to refit. The rifle being offered in a Savage Model 11 short action 243 with bottom bolt release and Accutrigger.. Have seen pictures and looks to be well worth the asking price and in VGC other than the stock is broken in half right at the mag well and trigger guard. The Trigger guard is broken and missing pcs, as is the mag and bottom metal.

    Have searched around online and haven't found much. Are those parts available from Savage? If so how I have never attempted this before.

    Plan is to restock it with a Boyds or Richards Microfit stock and maybe a re-barrel to 6BR.

    I would imagine you can get the parts from Numrich or Savage.

    Had already looked on Numrich and didn't see anything. Have never dealt with Savage.

    Have you looked at Sharp Shooter Supply http://www.sharpshootersupply.com/ ?

    I got some parts from then awhile back when I was actively working in my Savage project.

    E. A.. Brown has a bottom "metal" (Plastic) that fits the M11 and Boyd's stocks. That's what I did. I got a metal triggerguard from the Gun Shack. But you do need the mag release and spring from the old guard and spring for their guard.

    You're welcome to my plastic M11 trigger guard if you want it. It doesn't have the release & spring with it.

    Thank you Stumpkiller, I will keep this and may take you up on the offer if I cannot find another.

    Having a half dozen Boyd's stocks and only one Richards-not-fit-nuttin', I would suggest getting a Boyd's unless
    you like finishing a half-baked stock. There are those who have complained about Boyd's not fitting properly,
    but the only problem I've had was because of installing a different trigger. Five minutes with a dremel solved
    the clearance problem.
