Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires savage 64f reassembly problem

Does anyone have experience with reassembling the 64f, as I need
help with a slight problem. My savage is 2 years old and last
year I disassemble the main parts as per the manual to soak and
clean the crud. I had no trouble reassembling all the parts back
and functioned properly, but this year, after reassembling again,
I loaded a clip and pulled the trigger, and "click" no fire?
I've since repeated the assembly a couple of times, but still the firing pin does not engage the shell?
I'm sure that in following the steps I could have done some simple thing wrong, but can't figure it out.
I don't want to send it back to Savage and wait forever if I
could have some simple recommendations to try.

Earl.

Hi aceman

It's been years since i owned a lakefield 64 so i'll just take a wild assed guess.If i remember correctley the firing pin just sits in a groove on top of the bolt. With the bolt out does the firing pin move freely without binding?Is the tip of the firing pin peened or flattened.
Good luck.
