Hi folks,
A friend of mine inherited a Remington 550-1 .22 rifle. He knows nothing about guns and asked me to go over this rifle. It looks very much like a model 500, except instead of a bolt it is semi-auto. He wants me to break it down and clean 20+ years of dust out of it and give it a good going over.
I looked in several of my Gun Parts book and found no listing for the 550. Does any one have a parts diagram for this fellow?
Also, the bolt refuses to stay open. I noticed that the slot for the bolt handle is notched towards the end of the travel. But no amount of pulling, twisting or yanking will get the bolt handle to enter the slopt. Any ideas, beofre I post this to the Smithy forum?
Thanks
Joe
