As much as we the consumer might like it, I don't think thats going to happen any time soon. AFAIK, Savage as a company doesn't officially condone the end user taking their guns apart much beyond taking the bolt out and the stock off for cleaning purposes. They might be aware of what some of us do to their guns ;D but it doesn't mean they want anything to do with the liability that might ensue. Getting replacement barrels is tough enough for the factory team; it took a fair amount of wrangling and twisting the arms of the legal dept and such. Getting them to sell the parts to the customers for the sake of *not* buying another gun... well, they are in the business of selling guns, not spare parts, like it or not.

I'd second the advice to get an aftermarket barrel & brake. You don't need a second recoil lug anyways; just keep using the original. Buy a set of headspace gauges from Midway or Brownell's.
