A few days ago I posted this looking for info on a Savage Model 60. Well, I had time today to start cleaning this old guy, and it seems it's a Savage Model 6D. From what I can find out, it's a post-WWII production gun.
The poor thing was completely cruddy, and it has some surface rust on it. Luckily, the parts hidden by the stock are in excellent condition (unlike my last project .22). It's cleaning up good, but I have got to get the bolt out, and I can't figure out how.
Does anyone have a manual for one of these, or can anyone tell me how to disassemble it? It looks like the large knob on the end of the receiver shouls screww our and allow the bolt to slide out the back, but it doesn't seem to screw all the way out. Don't see any sort of release that might allow it come completely out.
