I had a savage barrel that was really hard to debarrel, was suggested that the residue was blueing salts.

Shipping difficulties are certainly troublesome for the person impacted, but be careful if you are suggesting an entire product line should be avoided due to this isolated incident. It happened, sure, its a data point... I had an issue with the parts department, they handled it, I got what I wanted and actually feel very fortunate that I was able to obtain the part. I bought an aftermarket 375hh barrel without the muzzlebrake, they found one for me. I dont think they offer the combination anymore and they had to look deep into the shelves to find the correct pieces. True, before sending the parts someone did not confirm they fit. But, do I think that was the same person who makes all of the Savage Axis guns - no. Does it suggest the entire operation has procedural issues, who knows, its possible, but who could make that determination confidently with the information known.
