TheBuckeye Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I got a used SBE this week. It's my first autoloader, so this may be a dumb question. I was following the disassembly instructions, and step 2 says to pull the bolt lever off the bolt. Is there a trick to this? Because it ain't coming off. Do I just need to pull harder? Prying on it does not seem like a good idea. And if it can be simply pulled off, what keeps it from falling off? Also, I paid $655 and it seems to have been shot very little. It is camo finish and left-handed. Am I right in thinking that is a pretty good deal? Thanks!

IdahoDucker Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 My SBE and my brothers M2 are the same with the bolt lever. Usually won't come out with just fingers so we use a piece of plastic or a screwdriver wrapped in cloth to pry it out. Doesn't take much, just a little pressure with a tool like that and it pops out. I think $655 is a very good deal even if it's been shot a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 One commonly published trick is to wrap a shoestring around the handle two or three times and PULL. [ 11-30-2005, 05:28 AM: Message edited by: tucker301 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
