Gunsmithing Howa bolt disassembly

[pklin1297]

Hello all,

Can someone point me to a set of instructions on how to disassemble a Howa bolt?

Much appreciated!

Peter, just twist the bolt shroud and it will line up with a notch on the bolt body and it will come out. After that I will need to look at some pictures.

Twisting requires quite a bit of effort correct? There is the notch where it sits when it is cocked, but I am twisting it to get to the big space yes? Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Thanks.

Don't go the wrong direction or you make more work for youself but otherwise a great design for the bolts.

if you do end up going in the wrong direction, just cock the firing pin back by pushing down on the end of a bench and rotate the other way at the same time...I can't tell you how many times I forget which way to turn...

nope I went the right direction after the read the directions, and it only took a little bit of effort to rotate it, and the shroud and firing pin popped right out. Reassembly was even easier... Definitely much easier than disassembling a Remington Bolt, and no tools needed.

Now if I can only unscrew the single screw that holds the trigger in place without stripping it... That screw just won't turn! Was locktite used on it? Should I heat it?
