The Savages never came with a washer between the screw and the bushing. Some guys add them. I'd shy away from that as it may cause more bad than good if you take too much "slack" out. You need a little bit of play between the CB bearing and the screw or else the CB won't spin freely and the bearings will just grind into the crank snout and then you'll have a whole different problem. The easiest fix if you have a spare CB bearing lying around is to use it as the spacer. I did this when I got tired of eating up brass bushings. I later fixed it right with the X SS steel spacer. I believe the Hellfire also uses a steel spacer. HTH
