I have all the bolt release stuff if that is what you are talking about.

Right after I read your first post I tried again with my feet. I decided not to worry about breaking it and gave it everything I had. It finally popped loose with a crack that was so loud my son heard it from the other end of the house and came to see what was wrong.

I disassembled the bolt and then got on the Savage website part finder. Put in the serial number and it popped up the schematic and the date the rifle was made. Some of the parts were different. The schematic shows one spring and this one has two. I thought maybe the spring had broken but on close examination there are two firing pin springs that bump up against each other. The firing pin in the schematic looks like it is two piece but the one I have is one piece. It's weird.
