In need of a rifle identification, springfield arms 22
An acquaintance gave me this gun (attached photo) to clean-up and now
that I've broken it down I'd like to find some information on putting it back together but I don't know what the model is. It doesn't have a serial number, it has SPRINGFIELD ARMS COMPANY, CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS USA stamped on the barrel and 22 SHORT LONG OR LONG RIFLE. I've found similar looking rifles online but I can't be sure they're the same as this one. It differs from the ones I've seen in having a bent bolt handle, a very small and shallow cutout for the handle and the cocking knob is different. Thanks, bobco |

Can't be sure from the picture and the way you have the parts oriented, but my first guess is the Savage 53 single shot.
No barrel markings??? MJ |

markings
There's a number 24 in a circle on both the barrel and receiver. Why would you call it a Savage when it has a Springfield stamp? I understand that Savage, Steven's and Springfield were one-in-the-same.
It looks like this Springfield 53A http://www.gunauction.com/search/dis...emnum=10041939 Now to find info. on how to put it together. Last edited by bobco; December 17, 2011 at 08:13 PM. Reason: more info, typo, more info. |

Sorry Bob, I meant Springfield 53, guess I find it easy sometimes to group them all under "Savage". MJ

Need help on putting the bolt back together
The firing pin and the extractor are back in, hopefully correctly, and now I need to put the cocking pull back in the bolt. What is the proper way of putting the pin back in when it looks like the pin has to pass through the spring? How do I get the spring out of the way? Is the spring supposed to be compressed? When I took it apart it didn't seem to be under any pressure.
Should I post this in the smithy forum? Thanks Last edited by bobco; December 18, 2011 at 11:23 AM. Reason: more info |
