Benelligunny Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 You mean the extractor? If so, it goes from the top down. Use a 1/16" punch. It's a half blind pin so be careful pushing it out. Angle the top of the pin rearward like you're pushing forward while hitting the punch. I also leave the bolt fully assembled while doing this, the bolt body and locking head pin act like a vise to hold the locking head still while it's being hit. The act of doing this will bend the punch slightly so use a quality punch like Starrett. The cheap ones may break off in it while it's in there.

StrangerDanger Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Benelligunny is right on all marks. I use a curved 1/16 punch for this task. It’s one of the Brownells punches with the nipple on the tip. These punches are consumable but tend to last a while unless you’re rough on it. Pay attention to where the spring is before you disassemble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
