[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1369961, member: 24284"] You have not completely thought this through. Re-designing the bolt body would also require a re-design of the firing pin and probably every other part involved. I am not much of a Savage guy to begin with. And with the back-log I currently have, there is certainly no way I would spend my time making one piece bolts (actually 2 piece, as 1 piece would mean with the handle integral). Customs...... And Savages are far, far from custom. If guys want to mess with them, fine. "Kit guns", just like the 1911 pistols and AR series rifles. Easily assembled without many specialized tools, knowledge or higher end skills. I do not believe for one minute that the engineers at Savage designed these to be "kit guns", only for ease of manufacture,,,,,, to meet a price point. I have been involved with manufacturing for far, far too long to believe otherwise. Spend time and money trying to improve one? No me! Not by a long shot. [/QUOTE]
