Anyone have help on disassembling/assembling a 99 rotary magizine?
I have a 1914 model 1899H (HP22 cal), as well as a Remington 550-1, that I inherited from my mother, and I'm looking for some advice. Neither gun had been touched in 30 years. I recently completely disassembled, cleaned, lubed, and reassembled the Remington. (It was my first teardown, but I did lots of reaserch, bought the appropriate tools, and to my amazement :o the rifle now works great.) I want to do the same for this great old Savage rifle but in doing some research, I've heard that the rotary magazine is a pain to reassemble. (The same was said about the sear spring case on the Remington, but I finally talked to a couple of guys who had successfully dealt with it, and (thanks to those two guys) it was fairly easy.) I was hoping to get some good advice (or know-how) on wheather I should break down the magazine. The Remington was chocked full of gunk, And I'm assuming the Savage will be as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
