savage MKII barrel

Re: savage MKII barrel

I don't think you can easily remove the barrel on the Mk II. IIRC, it's pinned and press fit in, so it'll be a pain to remove. About the bolt knob. What they do is chop the knob itself off and use a die to thread a portion of the handle and thread on the new knob.
 
Re: savage MKII barrel

The barrel has two pins, one roll pin and one solid. Easy to remove, just pound out. Then pull out the forward most mag well bolt/stud and the barrel should pull out. It may not be easiest thing to pull out but maybe some love taps with a rubber mallet or dead blow and it will come out. I've pulled mine to get it threaded.
