Savage 69rxl

Post by LuckyLeaky »

Anyone ever worked on one of these things??

I have a problem cycling the shells up and it takes a lot of force to get it to load.. keep thinking it’s the lifter spring but I can’t seem to track one down for it..

It’s a cheapo SG that I bought used from AJI that never worked right from the start but I would like to get it somewhat better.. or imma shoot it with my other savage from 1k :whistle:

I have one as well, I had purchased parts from Numrich. I know there is another model that has matching parts, I think it was the Stevens 67, but I am not positive. So don't quote me! ;)

I was having issues with the shells not completely staying in the mag tube and not allowing the spent shell to be cycled and ejected. Got a few parts from them and it seems to be working with snap caps now. Still need to get out and confirm with live rounds.

I would have thought that as well, got mine at a gun show. It worked for a couple times out. It started acting up after the first round during a match. Had to borrow someone else's for the rest of it.
I need to get out and make sure I got it going correctly.
