Lake Field Mark II 22LR

[KBF]

A few years ago my wife was shooting this 22. After firing a round she worked the bolt rearward, the bolt came out in her hand and she said something fell out on the ground. (No, not the empty case). We looked and looked but never found anything. We put the bolt back in and put it in the safe and had not fired it due to obvious situation that just occurred.

With coyote snaring season upon us, I remembered we had this gun and thought it would make a good dispatch gun. But am leery to fire a round. I have worked the action and it feels normal, bolt does not come out or seem loose.

Does anyone have any history with failures similar to this or familiar with these rifles?

May not be worth the $$ to repair, but its hard to also justify a rifle sitting laying idle.

Suggestions?

The Lakefields are the same as the Savage Mark II rifles. You should be able to find a schematic online that shows the bolt and receiver parts. Compare that to what you have.

Ok good to know. I was seeing lots of stuff on the Savage and nitbrealizingbthey were the same. Thanks

Here is a good schematic. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-man.../mark-ii-lkfld

Based on your description it is likely the extractor. Western Gun Parts in Edmonton should have what you need once you identify it.

if it seems to function properly , why not cycle a few rounds through it (in a safe place).....if it cycles properly, why not fire it and see if it works? people have been mistaken..maybe nothing fell out

If the bolt body and hammer (as it's called in the diagram) aren't lined up properly yes, that can happen.

Oops I did not notice that this is Chargerguy bolt picture but you (KBF) admitted that yours look the same way.

IMO You both missing the Extractor clip.

KBF You can fire your 22 but have a cleaning rod ready to push the empty shell out of the chamber.

Here is the MkII parts diagram from Numrich Arms. Not seeing an extractor clip groove in your bolt...

That could be also. And perhaps, maybe it was the spent cartridge.haha. Was just alarming when the bolt come out, and with the malfunction we just assumed it was a component.

i'm not familiar with that rifle, but can the bolt be removed by just pulling the trigger and pulling back on the bolt? perhaps she inadvertently had the trigger pulled and removed the bolt the way it was designed to do?

Yes that has crossed my mind also. This one you push safety all the way ahead and pull trigger and pull bolt out.

Yes, my Lakefield MkII just requires the trigger to be pulled to remove the bolt.

That's how you remove the bolt on my savage. Have to pull the trigger to allow the bolt to be removed.

After looking at schematic there’s 2 pieces I’m not seeing. Number 37 Detent Spring(but I don’t see how that even fits in or could fall out) and 9 the Extractor Spring Clip and I don’t see where or how that fits either. Thanks guys. I will do some more research and see if I can find a video with an explanation.
