Title: Re: Bolt disassembly
Post by Don_B._in_KS. on Mar 30th, 2005 at 2:34am
Hold the sleeve forward and the cocking piece to the rear or else the sleeve will snap back toward the cocking piece when it comes off the shoulder of the bolt body and inflict small but painful bites on your finger tips!  I wouldn't mess with either the extractor or the safety lever unless they were broken.  You could also turn the bolt sleeve until the cocking piece drops forward into the cock cam notch in the bolt body then pull it back out and turn it left until the nose of the cocking piece rests on the back of the bolt body just to the left of the notch then hold the sleeve forward and continue to turn left and ease it back.  Neither method is anywhere near as hard as describing them clearly is.  Most parts changed on the Krag bolt in some way or other but basic disassembly stayed the same all the way through.
