Promised a friend I would work on his inherited Savage 30/30 bolt action that he can't get on paper.

Took it apart and a tiny ball bearing rolled out from somewhere. No idea where but suspect on one end of a small spring near recoil lug? This spring is in its own vertical hole drilled into the stock.
Whole thing is is in pieces at home and not in front of me now but I suspect the bearing is for the trigger or safety?????

I called Savage and they have no manuals or diagrams for this model that looks to have ended production in 1940.


Tough one here- can anyone help clue me in?
