Lumley Arms Savage PRE-2019 Bolt Lift Kit

This is Lumley Arms version of the Savage Bolt Lift Kit for Pre-2019 Savage models with the 'old style' firing pin where the cocking indicator doesn't protrude through the BAS.

This kit reduces your bolt lift weight by decreasing the bearing surface between the BAS and cocking piece sleeve (which cocks the firing pin assembly). Lumley Arms kit differentiates itself from others by using the best materials and coatings to achieve high hardness and corrosion resistance coupled with weight reduction. These are very competitively priced products and offer a lifetime of hard use in all environments.

Installation Tech Note:

Savage Pre-2019 Bolt Lift Kit Fitting Guide:

Please refer to the image gallery below for the exploded diagrams of where these components fit within the bolt assembly. Minimum tools required are 1/4" and 1/8" hex keys.
If in doubt we recommend having a gunsmith fit the kit.

Easiest method is holding the bolt firmly with the BAS facing upwards in a padded vice. Be aware of the spring pressure before unscrewing the BAS. We recommend applying a small amount of bolt-lug grease or similar viscosity grease to the BAS threads prior to installation and decocking the bolt first then recocking following reassembly. We supply the kit with the set screw installed into the BAS in the recommended position; however, it can be adjusted by using a 1/8" hex key, including after the bolt is fully assembled and inserted into the rifle.

Troubleshooting:

Savage models that have the 'new' style trigger safety assembly may have some contact between the BAS screw and the top of the safety when cycling the bolt quickly. This problem occurs with the original Savage supplied BAS screw and is not an issue specific to Lumley's design. Their design has the exact same outside diameter as the original Savage BAS screw. The issue is caused by the serrations of the 'new' style safety sitting higher than the 'old' style (too high). The side image highlights the differences between the two designs. Customers with the 'old' style will not experience any issues. The problem can be corrected within 5 minutes by either of the two solutions outlined below (with the first solution shown in the last image of the photo gallery. Lumley has already accounted for this necessary clearance in the design of their bolt handles - these do not require modification.

1. Tightening the BAS then marking the underside diameter that engages the safety, then removing the BAS and filing approximately 0.02" to 0.04" (0.5mm to 1mm) of material off, or
2. Reducing the height of the 'new' style safety serrations by grinding the same amount of material off using a dremel or similar die grinding tool
