Last week I received my 111XP back from Savage after they installed a new barrel.

One modification I made was to add a Large Knob bolt handle.

As I was replacing the bolt, I noticed a piece of "White Soft Plastic" on the bolt handle right up next to the bolt. I do not remember this being there when I installed the bolt.

The filler looks to be like some kind of bumper against the action when the bolt is closed.

Has anyone else seen this on any the large knob bolts??

Makes we wonder if savage just grabbed a whole new action and barrel and rolled the serial number into it. Then popping on a large handle and calling it good.

I will be giving them a call to what answers I can get out of them. Kind of strange..
