A buddy gave me an extremely rusted/pitted 336 to see what I could do restoration wise. When I received the rifle the action would only open this far, the bolt wouldn’t budge.
After a 24 hour soaking in evaporust I figured it would open after the bath since the rust was removed. Nope, still only opens little bit like in the pic. I’ve never owned a lever action so I’m at a lose as to what’s stopping the bolt from opening. Trigger and hammer work great, loading door is fine.
Is it possible to break down if the lever only opens this much? Thanks for any info that can be provided.
