Been busy working overtime. So have'nt had a chance to post. Parts came in. Replaced mainspring and firing pin. Seems to be shooting just fine. Now if I can find time to get back to the range to finish setting the scope. Thanks for your help.

Well no luck at the range. The strikes seem to be even lighter than they where before I cleaned it up. I guess all that build up in there had it shooting at least half the time. I know after I cleaned it up I was exercising the main spring and little plunger after assembling it back in the striker b...

Just finished the bolt tear down. Everything went fine. You where right as usual. The cocking knob does twist off as well. I completely disassembled it, even took the main spring out of the striker bolt, which is not pictured. If I find the time I may redo the tear down and try to provide better pic...

Thanks for your help in this Bullseye. Another member at RFC posted pics of the disassembly. Here is a link to it. Might be a good sticky here too.

Here ya go Bullseye. Here is 3 pics from different angles. I'm unable to zoom in real close with the pics just coming out blurry. I guess I need to invest in a better camera. The cocking knob is continuous all the way around. Except for a slight notch maybe 1/8'' wide. But I cleaned it out the best ...

Thanks again Bullseye. But if this cocking knob unscrews I can't get it to budge. One problem I noticed is the the firing pin has play in it. If you push it all the way forward it sticks out enough to engage the rimfire cartridge. But like I said it has a good bit of slack in it. You can push it all...

Thanks Bullseye, its been impossible to find any online info on the disassembly of the bolt. I took it to the range to sight in the scope. About 3 out of ten rounds would get a light strike. I fired the light strike ammo in my Ruger so I know it was'nt the ammo. Any ideas on what I should start tink...

Springfield/Savage 120A

Hey guys, I just bought one of these little rifles. Got it for $65.00 OTD. I'm in the process of refinshing the stock and reblueing it with Blue Wonder. These rifles are'nt worth much but most of them from what I've heard are real shooters. So I've got the bolt out and the rifle disassembled. I woul...

Thanks Bullseye.I got the grips at handgungrips.com.I did take it to the range yesterday.I got about a 1'' group @ 25 yds with my UltraDot.And I'm not very steady or smooth so the pistol is probably capable of much more. Dwight45,after you placed the safety in the off position did you pull the trigg...

I ran into a fellow at the range yesterday. That claimed to have had nearly 50,000 rds. through his MK111. And said he's never taken it apart and gave it a proper cleaning. He went on to say he's always been intimidated by disassembly. I asked if he ever saw it done he said no. So I field stripped m...
