Project Savage 112 in 300-221 Fireball
 

I finally got my Savage barrel wrench Friday and could finally get to work on this project. Here are a few pictures I took as I progressed. Now I just need my reoading dies I have on backorder. :mad:

Barrel is 13.5" with a YHM QD flash hider that is perm attached to bring it to 16.25" overall length.

I will also engrave the barrel with the caliber. It will get finished in Dura-Coat ACU pattern. I'll update this thread as I get more done.

Barrel blank worked down so the profile is true to the bore, final size was 1.050". http://members.cox.net/randy3gun/300.../DSC01104a.jpg

Receiver threads cut 20 TPI.

Finished for now, barrel got a quick coat of paintplating (just to keep the barrel from rusting).

Looks good, let us know how it shoots when you get your dies.

That looks awsome, which blank did you use? I have a Savage 223, Rem 223, and a Victor 16x40 thats waiting on me, and I am waiting on funds. I guess I can dream and druel over this. Keep us posted on results, I am thinking the same as you, short barrel and pin my QD.

Nice work. Really like the flash hider idea!
