Not necessarily time for a chain Kenny. The Verslavy mod takes the slack up AND shoves the tensioner back into its place. As was noted, the chain is actually only about 20% worn when the limitations of the system require it to be replaced, so the modified tensioner allows us to keep running a chain that another Savage would have to have replaced. I have a used chain that is, (IIRC) according to the chart someone created & has somewhere on this site( Wasnt that a lot of help? I KNew you'd appreciate it, but someone will surely fill in the blanks) still plenty serviceable. I am hoping to get the Verslavy ( I hope I am talking about the welded end on the tensioner mod & not the whole apparatus that replaces the tensioner) & put that chain back in, after I use the recently purchased & hung in a jar of oil, special run chain that several here ordered some time back. Just have a gasket & the right gasket sealer on hand, pop the side cover off & measure the adjuster extension. Then you will know if you must do something or how long till you should.
