Warranty and Repair

Savage Arms Inc. will provide service on all current firearms manufactured after November 1, 1995 (serial #F498821 and above), as this was the date Savage was acquired by its current management. We regret we are unable to provide service for firearms made prior to November 1, 1995 but our current judicial system allows frivolous lawsuits, as evidenced by the number of state and city suits filed against the firearms industry. If the new Savage company serviced products made before November 1, 1995 (prior to serial #F498821), we could be considered responsible for the prior owners liabilities, real or imagined.

Discontinued or obsolete (current model has been revised) firearms will be subject to component inventory availability. For those components no longer in stock at Savage Arms, we provide a list of suppliers who may be able to help (expand the section below labeled 'Prior to Serial #F498821').
