Savage is a semi-lawyer proof company, and suggest that you do not do the bolt assy. your self, and to be honest I am a bit edgy about trying it.
Nothing is as easy as a Mauser (Gil taught me on line how to), Remington gives easy instructions in the Remington booklet that comes with each rifle.
Savage doesn't (as you know) so I called them, because at the time I had four Savages, and they said 'gun smith'
In Germany it would be expensive to have a German smith do it so I thought 'screw it' and never cleaned the bolt..........after 3 years with a dog old 110 I got used I never worried about the bolt (although it is wrong), and the day I had to sell it for a money crunch (snif
) the guy charged the bolt and dry fired it, still slicker than snot on a marble floor.
So over all I will say the Savage bolts are real good, but not intended for you to strip down. I just checked the Savage manuals page and it's still listed as a big no-no..................Jon
