I haven't been on the forum for quite awhile but have come across a problem with a Savage 24V series d in .222 Remington & 20ga & thought to tap into the collective knowledge for assistance. The firearm itself is in very good shape visually speaking but absolutely refuses to break open. Point of fact, I'm not able to tell if it's loaded or not, though I suspect it has at least one fired cartridge/shell inside and the problem of refusing to break open is associated with that cartridge/shell. The lever to allow the firearm to break open will move to each side approximately 1/2" max but no more & without enabling the firearm to open. Not being familiar with the Savage overunders I have only my shotguns to compare to & my shotguns have considerably more swing that thus Savage. In this basis I believe that something is binding or otherwise preventing it from breaking open. I have removed the fore stock & butt stock and, of what is visible, I can see nothing loose, broken or binding.
I like to know if any of the Highroad membership has come across this or similar problem with this particular series of Savage firearm & what you did to resolve it.
