Does anyone here know if the Savage Mark I and Mark II take the same bolt?

I picked up a Lakefield Mark I with no bolt. I am not 100% sure what era it is, but one thing floating around in my head was using a Savage bolt IF they are the same. I have seen photos of the Lakefields with different types of actions (assuming from different years they updated the actions), so this may not even be in the cards, but it does not hurt to ask.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
 
I looked up a bolt part number in a downloaded manual for a lakefield 64b. Called savage (who owns lakefield now ) and the number was still the same.

They mailed it to me from the US.

There was an issue at first because they would only mail to a licensed gunsmith. They said because the headspace needed to be set. Once they figured out it was a semi auto it was no problem. $26.

Call savage arms and ask them. They were great to deal with.
 
There are 2 also 2 different bolts for the Mark 1. The early ones have a pull knob on the end of the bolt that was used to ####/decock them.The picture below shows with side safety but I have seen them without the safety as well(hence the pull knob). I don't think this bolt is out of the rifle they show. Later models had a side safety and the back of the bolt was rounded slightly.Kind of looks like the back of a Mark 3 semi a bit.

No offense to you since you only know what you were taught. But between this and the other thread you posted bad information in I'm sort of thinking that your instructor ripped you off. This sort of stuff SHOULD have been covered in your PAL course in the portion about the various action types. You may want to do some more learning on your own to get more up to speed on this sort of stuff.

Corey, do you have a set of calipers that you can use to measure the inside diameter of the receiver? If so then someone (or me) can measure the diameter of their Mk II bolt to compare to your receiver. But then there's also the issue of the distance between the chamber face and the cutout in the receiver where the handle fits. That being the measurement that sets the headspace. Not to mention the measurement from the rear notch of the bolt slot and the sear to determine if the bolt tail will be held back at the proper spacing.
 
The early mark I bolt has a pull knob and the later one doesn't. The newer one shares the same bolt as the mark II. The newer one has a plastic shelf in the receiver to set your 22 shell on the older one doesn't and you have to insert the shell into the chamber.
 
Per Wikipedia just to clarify.
A repeating rifle is a single barreled rifle containing multiple rounds of ammunition. These rounds are loaded from a magazine by means of a manual or automatic mechanism, and the action that reloads the rifle also typically recocks the firing action. The term repeating rifle is most often applied to weapons in which the next cartridge is loaded by a manual action, as opposed to semi-automatic rifles, in which the force of one shot is used to load the next.
 
Mark II's are very common. If you go to your local range, odds are someone will have a bolt you can try. If you are near Ottawa, drop me a PM. BTW, the MK II bolt is the same as the single shot Cub bolt.
 
Looking it over, it has no safety and it looks like the bolt handle locks into the ejection/feeding port. I was trying to see the photos that were linked, but they do not seem to work; thanks for trying though.

It looks like it will be a lengthy search as it looks to be an older model. Oh well, I bought it thinking it would give me a reason to drag my butt to the gun shows again to look for one. That being said, I will take an easy out if anyone has seen one for sale :).

This is why I thought a repeating rifle is a lever action ...plus cowboy shows and movies called them repeating rifles ...
