Anyone here into firearms?

However, I did find this though. It's the biggest collection of manuals and diagrams for firearms and firearms accessories I've seen.

Thanks!

I found out that the rifle (or same basic design) was also sold as Savage 187E, 187H, 188H, 87H, 87KE, 87E, 87KH, 6E, 6H, 6DL and Stevens 87A. Didn't find this out until about 0100 last night and couldn't hold my eyes open long enough to pursue. Will be doing that today.
Some models allow the bolt to be locked forward for single-shot use with shorts but mine doesn't do that.

I looked at several of the Youtube vids that were very helpful as far as they went but I didn't see anything that went beyond removing the bolt/hammer and the feeder. Youtube is where I first learned that the rifle was sold by more than one manufacturer. I need to go back and search for some of the model numbers I discovered last night.

The Steve's Pages site looks like a great resource. Bookmarked for a look later today.

I live in a small town where The Event of this year was a Salt-N-Pepa concert. Not many gun shows here.

But that's a great idea. I'll check to see if there are any shows coming up that aren't too far away.

Thanks again for the tips.

I flat out don't believe you. BFE, Arkansas and no gun shows?

SouthArk370Z · 12-14-2014, 12:17 PM

LOL We have a yearly "outdoor show" in town but it is mostly boats, camping equipment, storage sheds, &c. There were a few local gun dealers at the last show I went to but I can always call them on the phone if need be.

I'll figure something out. I was just hoping someone might be a 187H guru. The gun was free and broken when I got it - if I screw up, nothing lost. The barrel has some pitting and the rifling is very worn so I doubt it's a collectable.

Chuck33079 · 12-14-2014, 12:19 PM

Do you have the old timer contingent at your local range or gun shop? That's usually where I go first with questions.

SouthArk370Z · 12-14-2014, 12:53 PM

I've got two guys in town that may be able to help. One of them has been gunsmithing for several decades and the other "specializes" in military rifles (so he may not be much help). Everything around here, except WalMart, is closed on Sundays so I'll do some more web searching.

The more I look at the rifling, the more I'm wondering if it's worth spending $25-30 on it for a firing pin. It may end up hanging on a wall. I'd still like to take it apart and see what makes it tick. Just want to be sure I can put it back together.

SouthArk370Z · 12-16-2014, 10:24 AM

I didn't find a manual but got some advise from a guy that owned one a long time ago. Wouldn't you know it? One of the screws was TIGHT and even though I was using the proper screwdriver, I ended up buggering the head.

I might be able to get it out with some small vise-grips. Luckily, the screw is still available - I can order a few when I get the firing pin.

decided to go head and buy a right hand version (even tho im left handed) Savage 110 338 Lapua. the only reason why I needed it to be left is reloading. that's it. the bolt action and the more im practicing with the right, the better im getting so...without further or do....

to come: Bi-pod, and the Vortex Viper PST scope. and a silencer

Vichtz · 12-30-2014, 04:04 PM

I'm lefty too but I always buy right handed bolt action. You can keep your hand on the trigger when cycling the bolt for faster follow up shots haha. Let us know how it shoots. I've been looking into savage but I know that had a quality problem back in the day. At least according to my old man.
