So I picked up a used Savage 10MLII, it is factory original 50 cal SS/LAM. Really nice shape, however, I went to change out the vent liner and it was seized. And I mean like no other, I have never not been able to get out a seized vent liner but this one kicked my rear. I even drilled it out and just have barely any screw material left in the threads but by golly, I still can't get it clear. I also did not get a breech plug tool with the gun. This is the old style breech plug that had 4 notches and took the "fish whacker" style breech plug tool. So I am looking for a breech plug and a wrench. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one I would be much obliged.

Use tap fluid or oil on tap. Blow out and resume ooeration. |

Just looked through a box of stuff no longer used...I've got two Savage plugs...one with the slotted head and another with a hex head...don't have the original breech plug tool but I have a modified socket that will work on the slotted plug...they're yours if you want them...pm me your address and I'll send them all your way.

Might be the time to put in the tungsten/carbide bushing instead of the steel ventliners.

I can modify that plug with the stuck vent to a bushing type plug for $27 with shipping. The bushing and lock screws are extra or you can buy them from Arrowhead.

fishhawk can you elaborate on this conversion or message me so I can find out more about it thanks Sorry for the late response, don't visit the forum very often anymore. I was the one that modified all the original Savage plugs for members and also for Arrowhead. The ventliner end of the plug is first milled close to .6" deep with a .250 flat bottomed end mill. The next step is to thread the top of the hole for what I recall is a 5/16"-18 socket jam screw. Everything is the cleaned up with a .250 reamer that is ground flat on the bottom. A .250 round x .375 long bushing with a vent hole of either Tungsten Carbide or pure Tungsten is placed in the pocket. The bushing is held in place with the socket jam screw. The bushing last many times longer than a ventliner. |
