Stevens Model 52. Striker installed correctly?

edited January 2012 in Ask the Experts
Looked everwhere I can think to look & can't find any information on this rifle.
Is the striker installed in the bolt correctly?
The reason I ask is.
Can't open the bolt unless the striker is cocked.
Must be cocked to load a round.
After loading a round the only way to safe it is to lower the bolt.
Is it working correctly?

    I can't find much info on the Model 52 either. But to refine your question. Does the bolt cock itself upon opening of the action? If that is what you are referring to, I think it's supposed to.
    Beginning in the mid 1930's, Savage/Stevens went through a bolt development period. Rifle actions remained outwardly similar, but the bolts and trigger engagements where updated. The main thing they seemed to looking for a good safety system. And some of the earlier one where bolts that cocked upon opening of action. But w/bolt knob that could be eased to decocked status as a safety.

    Must pull the bolt back by hand to cock it.

    Still not quite understanding. Does the bolt cock by itself when you open the action? Or do you have manually use the knob on end to cock it?

    Have to manually pull the bolt back to cock it. Does not cock on it's own.
