steve_b_wales Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I removed the bolt from my rifle to take photo's of the rifle / bolt, as someone is interested in buying it. I did not move anything on the bolt, and only gave it a quick wipe over with a cloth. Now, when I insert the bolt, it won't lock into position. What have I done, and how do I fix it? Steve.

ppaynter Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Try pulling the trigger as you push the bolt in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably decocked it If it has decocked (and I don't know how this happened because I took it out and placed it on the carpet) how do I re cock it?

scutt Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 when you turn it also pull it as if you are trying to pull it apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Rotate the bolt shroud to re cock it, sakos are very easy to do. Is the firing pin in the 'fallen' state? Yes, the pin is showing. Can this be re cocked by hand, or would it be better in a vice? EDIT: I just re cocked it by hand, but the bolt went all the way into the breech,but would'nt lock into position. The pin has now fallen again, and I can't re cock it. EDIT 2: I managed to re cock it, but when I pushed it forward into the breech, and it's fallen apart from the back end. How the hell do I put this back together?

kent Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I gosh I was reading that thinking "he is going to go to far" you did, oops. Easy refit is the reverse but you need the round plastic tool that comes with the gun or to borrow one, without its difficult.

Compress and twist Well I bought the rifle new, and there was'nt any plastic tool with it. There is a video on Youtube, where someone shows how to take the bolt apart and put it back together again. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. On the off chance, is there someone who has this plastic tool that I can borrow? Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
