Designed for the shooter in pursuit of the lightest rifle absolutely possible. If you are a Lightweight Storm, Ultralite, Ultralite Elite, or Klym owner - the Lumley completely CNC machined Grade 5 titanium bolt body will shave off even more weight. Lumley has released the right handed 'standard' version only, however fluted and left-handed options may be available in the future.
The weight difference between the Lumley titanium bolt bodies and the factory steel unit has to be handled to be appreciated. The fluted prototype is 54% lighter than the Savage OEM steel bolt body (a savings of 2.37oz / 67.2gm). When combined with a Lumley Titanium Bolt Handle and Titanium BAS (2019+ model) or Titanium Bolt Lift Kit (pre-2019 model), substantial savings in weight can be achieved. If unsure of compatibility with your particular model, please measure the length of your OEM bolt body and compare the dimensions to those in the last image of the gallery. Lumley includes several replacement front baffle washers ("wave washers") which provide the necessary tension between the bolt body and the front baffle. Only one washer is required, the extras included are spares. Don't forget to apply bolt grease to the rear faces of the lugs during reassembly.

Some fitting may be required
We cannot accept returns for bolt bodies that have been modified or show signs of fitting. With so many models and sub-models of different vintages, we have found that the dimensions between individual Savage rifles can vary. The Lumley Savage Bolt Bodies are available in two different diameters below:
- 0.695" (17.65mm) - this is ideal for the majority of factory model receivers that Lumley has measured
- 0.700" (17.78mm) - in many cases, this will be marginally larger than the ID of most receivers, ideal for a no wiggle, no slop fit however gunsmith fitting will be required.
We highly recommend measuring the ID of your receiver using a bore gauge. Alternatively, a pin gauge can be used and (as of Feb 2024) MSC has these available for $24.20, including both the 0.700" and 0.695". purchasing the Lumley bolt body. You will need at least 0.001" clearance between the bolt body and the receiver ID (i.e., your bolt body needs to be a minimum of 0.002" smaller in diameter than your receiver ID). If in doubt, selecting the smaller 0.695" bolt body is a safe option. If selecting the larger 0.700" bolt body, your receiver may need to be opened up or the bolt body will need to be turned down, both operations require a lathe.
