[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1424177, member: 101755"] Just throwing this out there, but you didn' mention the actual receiver model. I know they claim the Axis receiver is a little different thread cut which causes the barrel to fit very tightly. I have three home builds on Savage actions. I've also replaced the barrel on a fourth. I guess it really is a home build too because the bolt and action are the only two pieces that are original. Even the trigger is not original. Any way...one of my 4 Savage rifles is an Axis. And the factory Savage pull off barrel I put on it fit very tight. I don't feel the threads are different. I think Savage put some type of loctite type liquid on the threads before assembly. I wire brused the threads in the receiver with a small stainless wire brush and did the same to the barrel. It screwed in just as easy as any of the other three rifles, but there was plenty of some kind of hardened agent in the receiver threads. If i read correctly I think you got yours screwed on ok. Congrats if you did... OLT...don' reuse the factory recoil lug they are stamped, get one that has been machined. It can only improve your accuracy. Its an addiction working on these things. My first Savage was a model 16 SS SA 300wsm that I planned to use as is originally. The only thing left from the original rifle is the bolt and receiver. My other three were bought to be torn down and built to my specs. All are new calibers and one even jumped up to being a magnum! [/QUOTE]
