It is a good design, manufactured with high quality materials and is VERY strong. However, whether or not your particular gun is in safe-to-shoot condition can only be determined by a qualified person, such as a gunsmith.

Yeah this guy is dead on. I have a mossberg 20 gage bolt action, and it is excellent when maintained. However, keep in mind, safe can also mean how you use it! Don't ever point it near someone, and have the safety on when you are not shooting!

If you are talking about the bolt action. Just queeze the trigger before riding the bolt back. It should come straight out. This is of course providing the rifle has been cleared and safe to work on.

How much is a mossberg 12ga c-lect-choke model 395KB bolt action with a wooden stock in great shape?

About $75-100. These were durable, utility grade hunting firearms- made for "the working man". Although there is very little collector interest, these were well made, safe, reliable firearms. I have a couple of Mossberg bolt actions that I keep as a "loaner" gun when a visitor hunts with me, and did not bring a shotgun.

Why is a single shot bolt action rifle the safest rifle for beginners?

A single shot gun is safer because the operator does not have to remember how many live loads are left in the magazine. A bolt action is safer because the operator can leave the bolt open to make it obvious to themselves and others that the gun is in "safe" mode. Thus, for example, the operator can walk in the field with the action open, and then, when appropriate, load a single cartridge and fire. This is a simple, safe and teachable method for beginners.

Why were the jc Higgins 20 gauge bolt action shotguns recalled?

Apparently, there is a risk that when the weapon is fired, the bolt could become a projectile itself travelling rearward. This would cause serious injury or worse to the shooter. Sears began the recall several years ago and was paying a $160.00 finders fee. Sears now offers a $50.00 gift card for the bolt. * Many people say that the guns shoot fine and are safe - so long as you check and make sure the bolt retaining screw on the left side of the receiver is in good shape and is tight. Be safe.Made by High Standard for Sears in the 1950's.

How do you clean Remington 550 22 lr rifle?

Start by unloading the rifle, and operate the action several times to be sure it is empty. Point rifle in a safe direction, release safety, pull trigger to drop the striker. Unfasten the takedown screw on the underside of the stock, and remove action from the stock. Unscrew the receiver plug at the rear of the action (careful- under some spring pressure). Pull bolt handle back, sliding action spring and bolt out. Draw bolt handle straight out to the side, and draw bolt out of the action. STOP. Do NOT attempt to disassemble the trigger group. No, really- DON'T. It can be cleaned with spray gun cleaner. Barrel can be cleaned, and bolt and inside receiver can be cleaned. Contact Remington for an owner's manual for your rifle.
