Hello! I am new to this forum, so please bear with me. I have a vintage 1950's Savage 99 I picked up recently in original condition. Not drilled or tapped, butt plate is "right" and wood is original with no cracks or sling swivels added. I am very happy with my acquisition as I had looked for some time to find a decent 99 at a fair price. It is in .300 Savage.
The question/problem I have is this...I have read several forums and blogs that say you should avoid pulling the rifle apart as it is a bear to reassemble. That said, the old girl is in need of a cleaning, specifically the reciever/round counter etc. Any tips or diagrams or anything that may help me? I don't want to rip her all the way down, but I would like to clean the moving parts some! Thanks, JC
