Pete, you seem to be saying 303 is a 30-30??? Physically, the .303 Savage is different from the .30-30. Ballistically, there's no difference between the two. The .303 Savage is a close competitor of the .30-30, ballistically speaking - and even throws .308" slugs. I just wish that some entity ...

Hey guys, I recently acquired a savage 99 in 300 savage. One question, and I know this is subjective, but how difficult is it normally to close the action on a 99. On this rifle, the action works very easily except for the final lock up takes a little squeeze. Just making sure this is normal. Also,...

IDK what a trapdoor spanner looks like, but I've made a couple of different size spanners from the tip of common screwdriver blades via eyeballing or measuring where the spanner needs to go, then cutting out a bit of the center section of the tip of the blade(s). I also grind the face & the si...

Weird question in regards to retrofitting old parts into a newer rifle. Is my top eject, post 64, leaf mainspring rifle's tang compatible with my 94AE ? Since your 94AE is a rebounder, you'll also need the hammer, mainspring & MS strut from the 94TE IIRC, there's a tutorial in our archives unde...

. FWIW, some Spanish guns, especially early ones, had spotty or no heat-treating of the small parts - so it's most likely just worn beyond engagement with the cylinder notches.
