What changes have been made to the ML-II (besides the accutrigger) since the release of the ML-II? Are breechplugs, inside bore diameters, manufacturing processes etc. the same as the ones sold during the pre-accutrigger models?
What has changed on ML-II since 2001

Yes. The tang safety was changed along with the AT, just as it was in Savage centerfires.
The 10ML-II was not released in 2001-- the first year was the "type I" 10ML, which used steel primer modules as opposed to the patented 1/2 moon 209 holder that is integral with the bolt.

Makes me wonder if that hasn't changed because I've read about guys that couldn't get Barnes Spitfires to shoot in their older Savages because the fit was too loose without "knurling" or some other off the wall tactic. But along comes my 10ML-II last summer and the exact Barnes Spitfires that I had read were too loose of a fit in the Savage were almost impossible to seat in my gun even on a clean barrel. I'm tellin' ya, a full grown gorilla would get a hernia seating those things in my gun, although the few I did get down did shoot well! Anyway, Savage has either tightened up the tolerances on their barrels OR the sabot has changed OR the bullet diameter has changed. Gotta be one or a combination of the three!

That's 100% correct. I really need to take both my Savages to the range and see which one is the best. :shock:
