Savage Model 99 .300Savage, how likely to slam fire?

ABSOLUTELY do NOT disassemble the rotary magazine unless you have no other choice!!!

It takes a skilled octopus (and even he wishes for a couple extra hands) and no little luck to re-assemble the magazine. DON"T DO IT!

An octopus can't put a Savage 99 magazine back together, it doesn't have a tongue to stick out the side of his mouth as he squints at the rifle.;)

No, seriously, the Savage 99 magazine is not really all that bad to reassemble, but it takes experience. And like my dad used to tell me, experience comes from poor decisions (in this case, taking it apart to begin with).
 
Yeah, been there, done that, got the T-shirt, also got the bill from the psycho ward. Let a good smith do it (if he will). Otherwise, flush, blow dry, and light oil. Polishing the mating surfaces on the sear will help with trigger pull, but wont remove the heavy pull, just makes it smoother so that it feels like it has been lightened. Be careful even when polishing.
