As most of you know, I bulged the barrel on my Savage ML-II smokeless muzzleloader by accidentally leaving the ram rod in the barrel and then firing it down range. I acquired a used 50 cal barrel and purchased a Savage barrel nut wrench, but I quickly realized that I wasn't getting the old barrel off with out a barrel vice. It was then that I decided to just send it into Savage and have them deal with it and let the cost be a lesson to never do that again. I stripped the old barrel, took off my scope and mounts, removed the breach and stock and sent it in for inspection and repair.
I picked it up from UPS today with a new barrel, new sights, new breach and vent liner, new barrel nut and they even refinished my bolt. They did all of this as a no charge. I'm ecstatic to say the least.
