The Lumley kit is now the one I recommend. They include a Titanium BAS in plain or DLC coated. The machining is perfect and the BAS looks great. https://lumleyarms.us/parts-by-make-...t-lift-kit-old


BTW: leave it to Savage to go make an entirely different firing pin, but using a bunch of the same parts because they are CHEAP at the factory. They make it *just different enough to confuse people and not allow them to use a Lift Kit. I can’t say for certain, but I don’t believe the new style Lift Kits will work. This is SO Savage. Man oh Man, do I HATE factory mindset! “We at Savage Arms aren’t willing to make anything better for our customers… but when they figure out how to solve problems on their own, we’ll sure as hell change things just enough to MUCK them over! That is our promise at Savage Arms.”
Well said.
