Winchester 100 firing pin removal

I purchased a Model 100 in excellent condition and plan to hunt with this fine rifle. I was looking for a Remington 7400 308, but found this one. It's a 1961 manufacture with hand cut checkering. I contacted Winchester and the recall is still in effect. I disassembled the gun to the point of removing the trigger assembly from the bottom of the receiver, but couldn't figure out how the two assemblies are attached. It looks like a milled slot, but it must have a pin or something as a retainer. I have since reassembled the rifle and have been searching for a manual or guide, so far no luck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays!

Thanks,
Jim

  i'll assume you have the barreled action out of the stock; remove the gas cylinder retainer and pull the gas cylinder to the rear. look at the operating slide. the top of the slide will have a small 'notch', pull the slide back about 1" and you will see a small pin through the bottom of the receiver in this notch. push this pin out (loose fitting pin) while holding the operating slide (it's under spring tension). the bolt assy/operating slide will come off the rear of the action (you'll have to 'tip' the gas cylinder/piston up to cear the reciver). the firing pin is held in with a pin on the under side of the bolt (hold the f.p., it under spring tension also) this pin and the f.p. should come out easy but may be dinged up and need some force.
