Savage axis bolt upgrade kit

For a long time I have been toying with different bolt lift kits and I have tried just about every type out there. Then a customer showed me his idea and I like it.

For a long time I have been toying with different bolt lift kits and I have tried just about every type out their. Then a customer showed me his idea and I like it. Made some improvements and the results so far have been very good. What makes it better and different? It is the only kit that works with Those savages that have the cocking indicator. This new kit I made uses a specially modified thrust bearing and a spacer for the BAS screw. One thing I noticed is that most other bolt lift kits compress the firing pin spring more which does the opposite of decreasing bolt lift.

Wouldn't mind a better handle. I've seen a bit on the extractor, but not that concerned with that. Primarily looking for something to improve how smooth it opens and closes as well as how it extracts from the chamber, since it basically doesn't now. Not sure I can really fix the extraction issue unless it somehow isn't clearing the lugs for some reason. But that's another question. You can cut the bolt knob off and thread it for a better one, I have done several. Polish all the metal on metal contact points without taking material off. You can also stone the raceways for the bolt to ride on. I never understood why they used the Axis platform for a "Precision" rifle package

Now I can smoothly and easily operate the bolt with just my thumb and forefinger. Good point. Add a review Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.

I had handled other Savage bolts recently, as well as a variety of new and used rifles from Mossberg to CZ. Obviously some were better than others, but none were as stiff as my Axis all chambered in This is all without any ammunition in any of the rifles.

This kit is for a black steel spacer. Also the thrust bearing take friction down to near zero compared to all the other kits that still have friction. Rated 5 out of 5.

Reduce your bolt lift weight by reducing the bearing surface between the BAS and cocking piece sleeve. The Lumley kit differs from the others by using the best materials and coatings available achieving a high hardness and corrosion resistance coupled with weight reduction. This Bolt Lift Kit was manufactured for pre Savage short or long action models with the "Old Style" firing pin where the cocking indicator doesn't protrude through the BAS.

This kit is for a stainless steel spacer. Savage Shooters is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Savage Arms. The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well. The spacing ring fixes this issue. Add a touch of ep grease to the rear of the bolt lugs can help but collects dirt. It can still be accurate as hell, but refinement will be lacking.
