    Savage 12 F/TR Barrel and Bolt Head - Help needed from across the pond


    I'm based in the UK and looking to start a project on my wonderful Savage F T/R's. There is a big problem getting Savage parts over here because Savage rifles are not widely available, and UK retailers do not supply Savage parts.

    Can somebody suggest a US source that can supply me with the following:

    1/ Replacement Stainless Steel 30 inch barrels in 223 and 308 with 5R Rifling to fit Savage 12 F T/R rifles.

    2/ Replacement 30 inch barrels for the above with standard 6 Groove rifling.

    3/ Replacement Right Hand Bolt Heads for my F T/R Savage rifles in 223 and 308.

    My transatlantic fingers are crossed in the hope that somebody can point me in the right direction.

    You will need to find a retailer/seller that can ship abroad. If I am not mistaken, there are rules about shipping gun related parts with a certain value across the border.
    I would start by contacting american sellers and ask if they ship abroad. Brownels and the like might be a good place to start. You can google them if there aren't any restrictions.
    I am sorry, I may have mispoke.

    If I can source exactly what I am looking for Stateside, then I can sort out shipping, legal compliance, and export/import charges, if the retailer is not set up to deal with this.

    Great. Barrels are all overthe place. Bugholes.com can provide you with a barrel from one of several manufacturers to meet your needs. All good quality. Thier prefits are only small shank so custom barrel is required for your setup. There are quite a few manufacturers and retailers online to help you with a barrel.

    I know that Gun Shack does not ship abroad but has what parts you need and more. Like I mentioned previously, with the right querry, Google or other search engine may yeild a miriad of desired results.

    Chose a top brand of hand lapped barrels if you are after accuracy.
    I am sorry, I may have mispoke.
