1. Clean all surfaces of the Bolt with a Toothbrush, Q-Tips or Pipe Cleaners.

2. Clean and inspect Bolt, Firing Pin, Firing Pin Spring, and Firing Pin Retaining Pin thoroughly.

CHECK THE BOLT: Look for cracks or fractures. Inspect Bolt Face - Bolts with any pitting extending into the

firing pin hole should be replaced.

CHECK THE FIRING PIN: If it is bent, cracked, too blunted or too sharp, it should be replaced.

CHECK THE FIRING PIN RETAINING PIN: If it is bent, or badly worn, it should be replaced. Never use a

“Cotter Pin” as a substitute for a real Firing Pin Retaining Pin (cotter pins are NOT made of heat treated

spring steel, and their round head shape will cause damage).

CHECK THE EXTRACTOR: If the Extractor is chipped, or has broken edges in the area of the lip that engages

the cartridge rim, it should be replaced. Clean off any carbon buildup or powder residue.
