Haven't seen one of these before, I'm used to the regular allen head BAS.

Just need a special socket?

Another look.

Have you tried decocking the cocking piece pin? It looks like the cocking indicator projecting into the key hole?

Sorry to not be clear. Most Savage bolts have a BAS with an allen head as shown in the picture above.

This Axis has a BAS with an odd keyed BAS.

Who has seen this?

What tool are you using to remove it?

The Axis BAS uses a 1/4" allen wrench just like all the other models. You must de-cock it to get the wrench in. The firing pin sticking out is just a cocking indicator, and your particular firing pin seems to be a screw up from the factory, as they have a slot for the tail of the spring, but it does not extend that far. Once you get it out, you'll see what I mean.
