BOLT DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY
It is seldom necessary to dismantle the bolt, as
routine cleaning can be accomplished by brushing
and wiping off its exterior. However, should more
thorough cleaning be needed, proceed as follows:
A. To disassemble: Hold bolt firmly in one hand with
the rear of the bolt facing you. With your other
hand, rotate the bolt sleeve/~ring pin assembly
clockwise about 1/3 turn until it is released from the
bolt, and remove it rearward.
B. To reassemble (Fig. 11): Align the bolt
sleeve/firing pin assembly so that its small lug (A)
enters the slot (B) in the bolt hole and slide the bolt
sleeve/firing pin assembly into the bolt until it stops.
Applying heavy pressure, continue pushing the bolt
sleeve/firing pin assembly forward until the bolt
sleeve bottoms against the rear face of the bolt.
While holding it in firmly, rotate the bolt sleeve/firing
pin assembly counter-clockwise about 1/3 turn until
a slight click is felt. This click is the nose of the
cocking piece (e) engaging its shallow detent notch
(D) on the rear face of the bolt (Fig. 12). The firing
pin will now be in the cocked position, where it
must be in order for the bolt to be correctly
reinstalled in the rifle.
NOTE: If the bolt sleeve/firing pin assembly is
rotated too far, the cocking piece will snap forward
into the uncocked position (Fig. 13). Correct this by
hooking the cocking piece on the corner of a
wooden workbench and drawing it back while
simultaneously turning the bolt sleeve clockwise
until it engages the detent notch.
Correct assembly is easily checked by looking at
the front face of the bolt (Figs. 14 and 15): the tip
of the firing pin (E) should be retracted, and not
protruding through the firing pin hole (F).

WARNING!
The bolt sleeve/firing pin assembly is a semi-
permanent assembly and should not be
disassembled except by a gunsmith. These parts
are under heavy spring pressure which could
cause injury if improperly disassembled without
the use of special tools that are required.
