Does any of this seem accurate?

Post Savage Bolt Lift Kits
Fred Moreo uses the case head off a .357mag and a detent ball glued in. and he shortens up and polishes the screw.

Kevin Rayhill puts a machined shoulderd cap with a detent ball. He may or may not shorten the screw.

I use to turn a .399 shoulder on the screw, giving the cocking piece sleeve less surface area contact and keeping the firing pin center aligned.

Today I make a shouldered cap with a center detent. This cap fits in the back end of the cocking piece sleeve. I drill, ream, and tap the main screw .250 x 28tpi. I insert a .750 x .250 x 28ti grade 8 cone point set screw inside the main screw. The cone point set screw mates with the detent keeping the firing pin centered. The set screw can be turned in and it increases the firing pin spring tension.

A factory Savage takes and adverage of 22 lbs to :-). A timed and trued Savage that has the aformentioned modification takes less than 10 lbs to :-).
