Lugs were never engaged so the bolt had nothing to hold it in place

Meaning the bolt was never closed? Something i obviously missed.Originally Posted by grouse
Oh yeah Yobuck...this one fired as his son push in on the bolt! Reason I think all of us are positive the firing pin is broken.
Hdball, it would be a good idea to have a gunsmith check it out before sending to Savage, if that is what they want.(which of course they will). Hopefully they will take responsibility, apologize immediately and make it right. While I agree with you about not wanting to sue, and I don’t believe this is a “Million dollar” court case..., I do believe Savage needs to make it right! I believe offering a replacement OF YOUR CHOICE from the Savage rifle lineup & perhaps hospital costs. I’d say give them opportunity to make it right. Now, if they offer nothing, and start with the old.., “it’s your fault” bs, well then the gloves are off! IMHO. Of course it’s your call.
Oh, and I really don’t think Savage would “send” anyone to SSS. I seriously doubt the decision makers for Savage even know him.
I would be really interested in what Savage says if/when the OP calls Savage to explain the event. This would clear up a lot of guess work in my mind. Then I could skip past all the what ifs.
resolution?
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
My question, as well. At the least, an update would be appreciated.
Hello. I have been reading the thread with interest. I am happy no death or dismemberment happened. I have a 10FP that I am planning to rebarrel and start shooting. I would like to know what was found on the rifle and how this has ended. Thanks.
