ABSOLUTELY do
NOT disassemble the rotary magazine unless you have no other choice!!!
It takes a skilled octopus (and even he wishes for a couple extra hands) and no little luck to re-assemble the magazine. DON"T DO IT!
I'm pretty sure Savage uses a few jigs/special tools at the factory that aren't common for us hobbyists. If you need to clean the mag, use a spray type cleaner and flush thoroughly.
Lightly lube and you'll be good for years.
If you want a few hours of frustration playing with a metal jigsaw puzzle (with an attitude), go ahead and take it apart. But don't say we didn't warn you!
