Which direction should I turn the bolt assembly screw to loosen the screw on a left-handed rifle? Does it make a difference if the rifle is made for a right-handed or left-handed shooter?
I have a few savage rifles and all but one of them are for right-handed shooters. I've been able to loosen the bolt assembly screw and take apart the bolt on all of my right-handed rifles by turning the bolt assembly screw counter clockwise. The screw on the left-handed rifle won't budge. Are the left-handed rifles reverse threaded? Should I be turning it clockwise instead of counter clockwise to loosen it?
I do know that sometimes the bolt assembly screw can be pretty difficult to remove initially. I'm also aware of some ways to use additional tools to help loosen it. I want to confirm the direction it needs to go before I try using any additional tools.
Thanks!
