Bringing another one back to life….


Recommended Posts

Thought I’d share the video of the Savage/NAC dewat a fellow board member sent me to make run for him….started off by threading the barrel as the replacement he sent me was for a ring sight and he wanted to keep the comp on it. Then I had to cut the welds inside the chamber and spin the barrel free. Once that was done, I ground out/removed the weld material inside the chamber area, installed the new barrel, test fired to ensure the timing was right, then installed the comp, drilled and pinned it….once this was all done I went to the range and proceeded to test function followed by accuracy. The shooting in the video is the full function testing on semi then full. Accuracy wise…at 15 yards standing offhand (and in the blazing Ohio sun I might add) I was shooting a 4” group while on semi. I think someone will be very happy with this…..not bad for an armchair armorer….

   Dewats are usually checked off as “unserviceable” on the Form 4. When reactivating a Dewat, is this considered manufacture? Does the gun have to be marked with the name of the manufacturer/activator? Or does the owner of the gun just have to change the status by updating the Form 4 to “serviceable” and pay $200?

It depends on how or who does it, if an 07/02 does it, then said 07/02 files a Form 2 for the reactivation notification. There has been a long running debate on marking it or not.
 

If an individual does the reactivation, he or she must wait for an approved Form 1 before the work can be done.
