Questions and problems -
My 24 (22long rifle over 20 ga., series S) has a plastic forearm pivot plate, the upper ends of which look a bit compressed and battered. The brooming out of this piece makes me wonder if the frame is springing back from flexing in recoil. I can live with the appearance; I can also replace it with the corresponding colour case-hardened steel part from an old model 94 (.410) which is prettier and seems to fit and work ok, or I can order an aluminum piece from Numrich, who list a lot of plates for different Savage models (which I suspect use plates of the same design and dimensions).
So, are these things interchangeable, and should I worry about springiness in the frame?
The gun's had no more than a couple of boxes of shotgun shells through it, and function and accuracy are fine. (We won't talk about the trigger pull. So far I can manage it with one finger.)
Ideas?
