I'm picking up my first bolt gun from my FFL this evening. Its a Savage 10-TR and I already bought a handle and aftermarket knob for it. How do I remove the stock one?
 
Sweet! I was actually meaning I need to remove the bolt handle and bolt knob from the bolt assembly though. It doesn't say in the manual that I can see.
 
Big ass allen wrench in the rear of the bolt (1/4", maybe). Some are on tighter than others. I put a cheater bar over the bolt handle to leverage against.
 
Pull the trigger and hold it to the rear push the button in front of the trigger guard. Work the bolt pull it out
