Hi all. I have a Savage Model 435 Westpoint .22 caliber bolt action rifle, no magazine and no manual, and two questions to start:

1) What magazine fits this gun?

2) How can I remove the bolt to clean the gun?

Thanks,

David

Typically, to remove a rimfire bolt you pull it all the way back (after making sure the firearm is unloaded), release the safety, open the bolt fully, pull the trigger and then pull the bolt rearward.

The sear is the only bolt stop.

Thanks, but does not seem to work on this gun.

The receiver extension indicated by the red arrow is like a cap behind the bolt that stops the bolt and always covers the rear of the bolt. It looks like this would have to come off for the bolt to slide out the back. The safety (green) blocks the extension piece from moving back.

Can't find any reference for that model, but you may have to remove the trigger group before you can remove that sleeve.

Did some hunting. West Point sold arms made by various manufacturers (Marlin, Savage, Stevens). I think you have a model that would be a Savage Model 65. Numrich has a magazine.

The schematic also has part 24 listed as a "Takedown Stud". That cone/cylinder in front of the trigger group. Back that out and try again.

As far as disassembly: Here are instructions from the AR-15 site. It's not "simple."

Thanks Stumpkiller. That really helps. And yeah, breaking it down looks like a real pain. I'll let you know how it goes.

It went just like the poster on the ar15.com board said: take out that screw in front of the trigger, then two pins, then two screws.

(Note to self: From now on, only own rifles that are easy to take down!)

Quite right, Dave . . . .
Disassembling the spool mechanism of a Savage 99, or the entire mechanism of the Browning BLR . . . and a few other firearms, should NOT be attempted by we “hobbyists.”
Reassembling a Winchester 1886 . . .without growing a third hand . . . .is also pretty nerve-wracking.
