Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors The tale of two Savages

I machined up a new bushing but left it over diameter and over length. I changed my mind on the Loctite and went with JB Weld. Mostly for the gap filling ability of JB Weld but also because I couldn't find my red Loctite. I would finish machine the whole thing after the adhesive set up. With the epoxy set and the machining complete, it was time for a quick bluing. The assembly doesn't look as vintage as some might like but this is a tool for me, not a museum piece. I stuffed it back in the hole and she's good to go again. Hopefully my repair lasts as long as the original.









I now had two rifles cleaned, repaired and ready for action. I was originally referring to them as sisters but my wife figures they're more like Thelma and Louise from the movie of the same name. Sisters in mischief!
