It is a link to a self loading pdf. You need to wait for it to load.
the manual says: Lock the bolt back, remove the magazine nut then the forearm, next the barrel. Ease the bolt forward by holding it from slamming, pull straight out on the knob.0 -
I have tried to pull the operating handle straight out but it will not budge. I think the retaining plunger is rusted up. I have soaked it with Kroil but so far no luck. Any suggestions to get more pulling power om it? 0 -
Go shoot it some, that ought slam it around. The kroil might take a few day to crawl into a small recessed area. Blow dryer heat will help. 0 -
as above, I've seen them 'fall' out all by themselves. replacements are scarce as hens teeth. 0 -
Good idea but in this case it won't work! This is an incomplete gun I am parting out. I have several of the parts listed on the auction side. I guess I will just have to wait for the Kroil to do it's thing. 0 -
I would swat it with a lead hammer or a rawhide mallet, no brass or steel. Perhaps a plastic or wood wedge notched to fit under the flared part to apply some out pressure by tapping in the wedge slowly. 0 -
I finally got it out! I took a large claw hammer, hooked it under the handle, and whacked the hammer handle several times with a mallet. When it came out it hit the ceiling! I will be listing the bolt assembly & other parts on the auction side. Thanks for the input! 0 -
