Hooray for YouTube. It gave me confidence to partly take down my gun to replace the $3.50 action spring. And I am including a couple other items that cost about $20.

I’m going to shoot this on Saturday and make sure it’s on target so my wife can hunt with it in a couple weeks.

I hope I get it all back together.

Very nice! I’ll break down something meant to be field-stripped, but there are way too many little springs in most guns for me to want to go in without some serious documentation!

That's what the guy in the video used, literally for 2 bolts, the rest was swapping parts.

White tailed deer. Missouri firearms season starts Nov. 14 through the 22, plus additional week for antlerless.

thats one thing i always found cool about guns.

one of my dads (i think it was the savage) there is LITERALLY a single bolt that holds the whole thing together.

Turkey would require a shotgun. This is a rifle barrel, shotgun barrels don't slim down like this one.

This is the only one I have. I use a Remington pump.

I thought it was a shotgun with a box mag. My perceived scale must be off. Good luck though! I have a rifle that I’m about to rebuild, refinish and blue.

Firearm repairs are one of those things I let the professionals deal with. It’s not likely that things will go wrong, but if it does it is usually catastrophic.

Good Luck. Venison in the freezer is always a good thing.

It’s all done now. Only once did parts fly across the kitchen after putting on the inertia weight upside down. ( duh, the curve goes towards barrel)

Crazy how that one spring came apart in 10 pieces.

I watched the 15 minute video and it seemed simple. I doubt I’d go as far as the guy did taking it down the rest of the way. He was banging it on his work bench and man handling it. I was thinking “Daaaaang!!!”

At least you were smart enough not to take apart the trigger group.

I took my trigger group out of my pump rifle before, looked at it and was like, nope.

They call it group for a reason. I doubt I ever take one of those apart.
