I just picked up a savage 340a for dirt cheap. I’m by no means a collector, just couldn’t pass up this deal as he basically threw in this gun when I bought a browning light 12.

My issue is I can’t get the safety to disengage. Safety travels about a quarter inch forward and back. Pictures attached for reference.

Im assuming you have to pull the trigger to pull the bolt and I can’t do that with the safety stuck. Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Problem resolved

Always glad to help out.

What caliber is it? I have a 340b in mint condition in 222 rem

30-30, wouldn’t say this is mint. It’s in good condition, likely just a range gun once a year.
