New to the board…Please Help…Savage ml II smokeless ???

[katchar]

Please help!!! Savage ml II barrel
replacement???

I ruined my Savage ml Il smokeless
powder barrel this past season, and I'm
looking for a manufacturer who will
build me a new one. Does anyone have
any recommendations? I did send it to
Savage and it's been discontinued. I
have discussed this with a custom
barrel company who would do it, but
it's been a couple of months back and I
cannot remember who it was.

(I reloaded for a follow up shot on a
buck, and, in my haste, forgot to
remove the ramrod. Pretty dumb, I
know. There's now a bulge in the
barrel.)

Thanks in advance!

Someone on this board may have a .50 take off they would sell. Luke may sell them of Arrowhead and PacNor and I think McGreggor sell them. Unsure if that is the correct name on the latter.

Are you thinking of Mcgowen? I had them put a barrel and breech plug on a 700 ML last year so I'm fairly certain they would do a 10 ML. If a DYI job as you mentioned Luke, Pac Nor, or Hankins may be options. Changing to a 45 may open more options too.

Hopefully all that was damaged was pride and a barrel.

Depending, you might want to consider a 45 or even a 40. Not many who went to a 40 ever go back a 45 or 50. And not many who go to a 45 go back to a 50.

However, so many original 10ML2s were converted to 45s, that surely a # of take-offs should be available.

That is terrible. Glad you are ok. Did you Daniel Boone that buck with your ramrod, we want to know. Check your messages.

I think I have a 50 call 10ml II stainless. It was a take off.
Do you need large or small shank.

Frankly though I would give Luke at Arrowhead a call and order a new Brux 45 cal. He will look after you well.

My 45’s have stacked up quite a pile of deer. 8 out of 10 of our hunt gang shoot Luke’s 45 cal Brux.

Yes McGowen, recalled it wrong.

I shot my target buck and it went down hard. I hit it good so I didn’t reload right away. After about 10 minutes I see him trying to get away. I panicked a little and reloaded in a hurry. I had the crosshairs right on him and fired. He didn’t move after the shot, which I thought was unusual b/c I had it right on him. I remember thinking the shot sounded really loud. So, I reload again, and noticed the bullet was difficult to get started. I look for my ramrod and thought I dropped it out of the stand. Then I realized exactly what happened. I found my ramrod about 75 yards from where I shot. At least part of it… I did end up recovering the deer, fortunately. 161” main frame 8.

I would definitely be in the market for a stainless Savage ml II .50 caliber barrel.

Thank you for all of the help!

Is it a small or large shank?

[katchar]

Small shank.
