Savage Impulse Barrel Extension

[Nimrodmar10]

Is anyone making barrel extensions for the Savage Impulse rifle?

Not that I know of... and that is odd. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason for this is patent protection.

They don't seem to have any problem making barrel extensions for the AR-15s ans such. Straight pull bolts have been popular in Europe for decades.

Stoner's Armalite (later Colt) AR-10 and then later the AR-15/M16 was nearly 70 years ago- so safe to say that any patents related to the barrel extension would have expired long before MSR's became popular for home assembly.

Thirteen patents pending for Savage from the Impulse:

A New Breed of Bolt Action: Savage Impulse :: Guns.com

Savage Arms has launched America’s first modern straight-pull bolt gun, but they’ve done it at never-before-seen prices for such an innovative rifle. Meet the Savage Impulse.

Even subtle differences in design can be enough to be patent protected, so you can't just lump together all straight-pulls or turn-bolts.
