Manual

Insert the t-shaped tool into the notches and turn the cocking piece
until the lower two notches are reached. The firing pin spring should
be virtually decompressed. Remove the firing pin locking screw found
in the rear of the cocking piece. Now we may finish removing the
firing pin with the special tool. Wnscrewing the firing pin with a
‘makeshift rig may cause damage and should be left to a qualified
gunsmith.
Removal of the Extractor Spring
Place the bolt in a padded vice and 7
insert a drift punch bf less than 0.04
inch in diameter into the small hole
found in the bolt head adjacent to the
extractor. Push the punch into the hole
against the extractor spring and ease
the spring forward using a screw driver.
Punch is insmud through Ihe hole
a) in the boh bead. Extractor spring
b) is of V type.
Keep one finger over the extractor slot L
to keep the spring from jumping out. To reassemble, place the spring
into the extractor slot and seat the small projection on the spring into
its seat in the bolt head.
Replacing the Bolt
Lee-Enfield bolts are nQt interchangeable. They have been fitted to
their respective boltways. Compare the number of the bolt with the
number of the rifle to avoid any chance that might cause you to
substitute a bolt in the wrong rifle. Check to see that there is no
cartridge in the chamber. Be sure that the bolt head is fully screwed
home and that the bolt cocking piece lines up with the lug on the
underside of the bolt.
Replace the bolt in the boltway and push if forward. Next, pull the
bolt to the rear to the resistance shoulders and force the bolt head
down over the spring retaining catch. Then, push the bolt forward all
the way and turn the bolt handle down. Hold the rifle so the muzzle is
pointing in a safe direction and press the trigger. The firing pin should
fall with an audible click.
