Savage 1915 Disassembly

[Sav22]

You should not have to pull the slide back past the safety locked rear position to remove the bolt, you do have to push up on the front of the cocking piece to allow it to turn --- make sure you do not get part of your thumb where it can be pinched! ****update - YOU DO NOT NEED TO PUSH UP ON THIS to remove the bolt****

**** update - This is from the position using the safety to lock the slide, it will not work using the magazine slide lock - that position is a little farther forward and you then will have to pull the slide back slightly.

There is a video showing the bolt being replaced at the end of the first post in the sticky above - '1915 32 Pistol Project', the removal of the bolt was not covered but you can see the front of the cocking piece being pushed up to allow the bolt to be easily inserted for reassembly.
