Title: Looking for Rgfixit
Post by: Bugman on Oct 15, 2016, 06:57:49 PM: I am new to forum and wondering if Rgfixit is still here. I will ask the question just by chance he or someone else might be able to help. I have a savage 16 gauge autoloader that after 1 st shot it spits 1 or multiple shells out of loading port.I was told it was a shell stop issue .Also person who told me that said they could not find replacement part. If anyone thinks they can help me with this I can post the model and serial # s. ( Maybe part can be custom fabricated) Thanks Paul I

Post by: RGFIXIT on Oct 16, 2016, 12:07:37 PM: Would that be a 700 series ...maybe a 720 or 755? Kind of looks like the Browning A-5?

Any good gunsmith can repair or rebuild the shell stop if that's really the source of the problem. I know that the shop I worked in would never return a firearm in a malfunctioning condition unless it was deemed unsafe to use in some way.
