I had the same problem with the nasty little bugger on my first stripping of my M1. I ended up using a pair of pliers and a block of wood for a fulcrum to lever the bolt handle out of the bolt. After that, it subsequently came out with finger pulls. I didn't damage the pin nor the pin/receiver finish with the pliers and block, so give it a try.

reconabe, I too have an M1 with a pistol grip, a CQBSolutions SOP and CQB sling . I agree totally with Tacman that the SOP is very comfortable and works well. It adjusts to my frame like a glove and is impeccably constructed. It also comes with fitting instructions and the web site has frame by frame instructions on how to use the slings. The CQB sling has a narrower strap that hangs a bit better, but not better enough for me to switch from the SOP sling. I bought mine direct and had the slings in two days. Good luck in whatever you buy, CW ________________________________________ "As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun." Thomas Jefferson
