Recommendation for all shooters and rifles: get a Wheeler Fat Wrench (in-lb torque wrench). Use it for torquing down the action screws. Experiment with different torque settings to see what setting gives the most accuracy when target shooting. My Savage 64 likes 20 in-lb. Think about getting a Mcarbo trigger spring kit to get a lighter trigger, and also do some fine sanding to smooth out rough contact points, including on the magazine front edge. My trigger is under 3 lb, according to my digital trigger gauge. I also have 10/22s, and in many ways prefer the Savage 64. Takedown is much less hassle, especially the bolt, and it's nice to be able to remove the barrel for cleaning it from the rear. This gun is an amazing value compared to a 10/22.
After watching other such disassembly videos for cleaning, I decided to go with the Savage Mark 2 bolt action .22 for easier cleaning and maintenance. It costs a bit more but the ease of cleaning and disassembly is worth it. And it can also shoot .22 short ammo. Thanks for the video.
Thumbs up like for using a snap cap instead of dry firing a .22 LR like everybody else does. Once someone does that it pretty much gives away the fact they don't know what they are doing. Only thing you missed was the red Loc-tite. You can use a soldering iron or a heat gun to melt it before you twist on the screw. That makes it come out a lot easier. Don't use open flame lighters or torches as you can damage the finish as well as compromise the heat treating.
I sadly don’t have a soldering iron or heat gun, do you thinking a simple blow dryer would work? I stick to using blue loctite for that reason! Thanks for commenting!
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors It wouldn't hurt to try it. The main thing is not to use a open flame heat source. It doesn't have to be glowing cherry red to melt Loc-Tite. Just enough to warm it up and make it gooey.
The action screw that is stuck in the stock is actually stuck in the rear lug behind your mag well. It comes out if the lug is torqued less than the action screw. 👍
Noted! Seems from my experience that majority of the newer 64's I have worked on always have the screw stuck in the stock, likely over torqueing from factory then?

No plastic recoil buffer....I like it.

MK2’s are great rifles, very accurate and the ammo varieties you can use is a huge plus! Thanks for watching!

I have a friend here in Brazil, but I need to know how to change her springs, do you have a video on how to change the springs?
Which spring?

the recovery springs and the precursor
Mine is missing the screw that holds the mag in. Can't get it back together?
