New Smokeless ML Field Report

You could contact Henry Ball if you really want sticker shock on a Smokeless Mz.

He is credited with the innovation. Savage ran with it, but Henry went out on his own design.

Thought he died two years ago?
Sticker shock on a ML would be for Bad Bull!!!

Henry died, but there are still rifles being built on his design.

I use a NEF Handi-Rifle smokepole and have loved it. Accurate and easy. Guessing I could have it converted as well?

I'd think there would be too much receiver removed already from the existing NEF breech plug to handle the smokeless pressures. 4570 receiver is pretty thick, then reamed out to accept the Savage plug.

What is the liner you mentioned earlier?

 

[Okie4570]

Vent liner is the replaceable "allen head" looking threaded insert that goes into the end of Savage plug. It takes the brunt of the powder explosion and wears out as time goes on. Screw out the bad one and screw in a new one. I've shot several pounds of smokeless out of mine and I'm on my third vent liner. I use the hardened aftermarket ones though.

The ones that Randy Wakefield markets?

That's where I got mine.

Bought a dozen. I'll be long in my grave before wearing out that many, but I believe when the opportunity is there, take advantage of it.

I'll have to look in the morning, but I believe that's where I got them. Same here Dennis, bought them after I wore my first one out, seen the harden ones advertised and jumped on them.
