Savage 112

[Nahum]

I have a 112 in .223 with a stainless fluted barrel. Am I correct in thinking the difference between the 112 & model 12 is the 112 used blued receiver while the 12 has a stainless receiver? Thanks guys.

Model 12 was short action and 112 was long action.

[Dave Hoback]

What wbm said. I’m guessing you have the 112 BVSS? It’s the letters that tell us all the various characteristics of each. Nice rifle.

You are correct.

If yours has a blued receiver then it is an older model and was probably back when the 112 designation was used for short and long actions. The current `12BVSS has a stainless receiver and barrel.

Thanks Charlie. Yes this one has a blued receiver & stainless barrel. It is a long action.

Does that Barrel have a Factory Savage Roll Stamp on it ?

[Dave Hoback]

Yours IS a 112BVSS. Charlie was simply pointing out that the CURRENT 12BVSS is all SS. With yours, Savage chose to use a Long Action for short action rounds. It was kinda strange...but cool.

[Dave Hoback]

Oh... the MAGIC I could perform on that trigger.

Years ago I had the BVSS in 223 with the "2x4" stock. Blue receiver, fluted SS varmint barrel, and 3 screw trigger. It was also long throated and Savage got a lot of "what the heck" rants. Mine however did not mind and was VERY accurate.

Sure enough needs some work.

[Dave Hoback]

Nahum, I do trigger jobs for FREE to members. If you’re able to remove the entire trigger/sear/bracket assembly and send it to me, it will come back a completely different animal! I’m not an FFL, so I don’t take the firearm, just parts.

You don’t have PM set up. I would have messaged.

[GrenGuy]

We have been told that Savage takes parts on hand and “mixes & matches”.

I guess we are looking at an example? L I B

Well, I guess you could say that for many of their models... the 14/114 discussion we had some time ago & what not. But this was a normal “precision” model that could be readily purchased.

That is very kind of you. I'll check the PM things. Thanks.

So, what kind of trigger is that?

It’s a Savage 3-screw trigger. They make fantastic triggers with a bit of work. Were you genuinely asking or just quizzing?

Model 12 was short action and 112 was long action.

This is not entirely true. I have four of these rifles and they are all marked Model 112 and are short action .452" between the action screws.

[wbm]

Don't recall posting anything was "entirely true".

FWIW: What it looks like you have there is a 112 J series first generation short action made between 1959 and 1987.

[Dave Hoback]

This is not entirely true. I have four of these rifles and they are all marked Model 112 and are short action .452" between the action screws.

Less than 1/2” between the Action screws? You wanna maybe double check that?

[Blue Avenger]

j was a try at short action at the time. current are even shorter with a different screw spacing

[Blue Avenger]

first thing you do is change that wire spring to a lighter wire. with that tension screw all the way out you are at a braking point where you can loose pressure to reliably reset sear constantly. the lighter wire keeps a constant pressure but lighter pressure.
