I have that same gun... Bluing is shot ... wore off gone on most of it.. the stock and forearm are dinged up faded scratched and I will be able to finish that off and make it look good I need to find somebody to do what you did to the barrel and magazine that gun looks better than when it was new good job
Greetings. How does model A differ from model D? I have a model D. which has engraved the same patent and reference numbers. in the barrel of the gun. These rifles really do not have a serial number...? great Job ...! Thanks for sharing .
You don't have to take the lifter pin out to access the screws. I don't, you can slide the pin through the spring far enough but before the spring pop's off. Slide the pin over to access one side and vise versa.
Do you seriously shoot your DuraCoat at 14 psi? I use a Badger airbrush with medium tip, and I set my psi at right around 38 when I DuraCoat. I have tried the lower pressures but got terrible results. Nice job on the Savage! What DuraCoat color did you use?
yes, I use a badger crescendo with the large tip and large needle, with a 1/5hp compressor at 14psi. I have found with higher pressure the dura coat cures way too fast forming strands of cured paint everywhere almost instantly. I would recommend using reducer or changing the hardener ratio if you are having trouble at low pressure. The color is colt grey and will dry to a lighter color within a couple months. p.s. I would use a large needle if you have one it makes blending really quick/easy.
That's funny, I had just the opposite experience at the lower pressures. I always use both Reducer, and Retarder when I mix my DuraCoat, and I have to say, I have had nothing but really great results shooting it at 38 psi with the Medium tip and needle. I guess it's just whatever works for the individual DuraCoater. Within reason, of course.
If you watch a couple of my DuraCoat vids, you will see me spraying at 38 psi with my Badger, using the medium tip and needle. My air compressor is a Makita M700. 2HP, 2.6 Gallon, which I bought a couple of years ago after going through THREE Cheap Campbell-Hausfeld compressors which were junk! I get a perfect finish (as long as I am spraying at around 8 -10") that goes down like liquid glass. The only time I've ever gotten any dry spray, was when it was really hot out in my workshop, so I only DuraCoat now when it's between 55 and, say 70 max. The few times I have set my psi anywhere down below 20, I've gotten blobs, and splatters. I just kept adjusting my pressure up, a little at a time, and spraying on a test sheet, until I reached what I felt was my optimum psi. I've been spraying at this psi now for 5 years, and have never had a project failure yet. Maybe it has something to do with the humidity in your area? The DuraCoat Retarder, along with some reducer, really seems to help.
I'm in a very dry area with a high altitude so maybe that's the difference. I've been using my china made 35 dollar compressor for over 8 years without a problem but perhaps it's pressure gauge isn't accurate. Next project i'll spray with my big compressor to compare psi readings.
My father had left one of these in Maine before he passed, and I actually just got it back from authorities. I'm so excited!
Thank you for this video it helped me tremendously

I've got a 85 model, i would like to see a video about this one. Sweet video. See you soon.
Looks good
It's amazing.

Now you got me curious, if I spray at 38psi it cures before it even hits the metal.

Very nice! I have the same rifle from my grandfather, how do you think it would look with the stock refinished?
Thanks, these old rifles typically have beautiful wood grain so if you're willing to put in the time they can turn out amazing. Best of luck
