700ML Bolt/Striker
« on: October 29, 2008, 09:22:09 PM »
After reading some of the posts on here about changing to the stronger spring, I went ahead and ordered the Wolff spring for the rifle. Now, I got all the way down to the part about punching the little pin out, got the pin out and then... ???
I know some part of it has to be unscrewed....but which part? What do I hold and what do I unscrew? I don't want to break anything! I do not have the special tool.

Thanks in advance!

I have a copy of the directions - if it is on photobucket I'll post it here... but once you have the pin driven out the striker unscrews from the bolt... It might take a little bitto get i started as it might be partially grown together because of powder residue... It is not on Photobucket so I will try this route... if you do not get a pict let me know.

Often I have had to soak the rear end of the bolt and hammer in boiling water to loosen the material then with a pair pliers and a piece of leather to protect the hammer twist the hammer out of the housing...

Keep shooting muzzleloaders - they are a blast....
