If this is under warranty, they should be getting a part to you. Did you buy New? And did you 'register' the warranty ? If NO to these, try one of the fixes I suggested. They prob are busy with Holiday crap like all other businesses. US Thanksgiving and Christmas beginning. The MKIIs are made in Canada, did you contact Savage in Lakefield directly? There is a number that Doesn't go to US Customer Service.
It was bought new and the Warrenty was registered and it's been nearly a year of calling the Canadian savage office. I keep getting promises but no product
