Godogs I had the exact same problem. Mine was made in 1905. I couldn't get it to budge either. So I left it alone, I don't believe it was ever apart. To add injury to insult I've had 2 savage 1899s(in 303,22 HP) and one 99(303) takedowns that I could not get apart either. But I know my limitations. No sense breaking a rifle that's over 100 yrs old!!
