Savage model 10 ML -II

[Tru2Life]

Bulged barrel at the end about 1 1/4"

Anyone know if anything could be done or is this ruined?

whoa, I'd get another ML.

I'd just throw it in the shed till you hear about a gun buy back or something.

Cut 2" off of it and recrown it

You can take the barrel off and have it cut shorter and re- crowned. Before getting that done, you need to check the rest of the barrel for bulges. Remove the plug and push a bullet thru. If the bullet gets excessively loose at any point below the bulge, there is another bulge

I did my encore with a Sawzall and crowned it with an inside the case mouth chamfer tool


Mine had a QLA on the end that was off center and it didn't shoot good

Taped it off, measured, Sawzall, "crown", done


It shoots much better now


I shoot a fixed 4x leupold


3 at 125yds before I cut it


4 at 125yds after I cut it

Bugholes could probably get it done by then. They're in cookeville
