    Savage Springfield 187M

    So since I've been pretty much confined to the house for five months now I have been pulling out guns that haven't gotten out to play in decades and giving them a Spa Day. The most recent is my old Click/Clack that I think I bought the year I got married, so late 1967 or 1968. I know it hasn't been shot in at least two decades but still looks great and after some cleaning all seems to be working except for one thing. Honestly, I think it worked last time I shot it but then again, I have to admit I have no honest answer. The issue is the bolt hold open feature where you pull the bolt back and push the handle in to lock it back (or closed if using in SA mode). The bolt is hitting something and I cannot imagine what it might be.

    Open to all suggestions but getting the damn metal arm off the safety switch is a pain so really hope to have a good idea of what I need to do before heading back in.
