While I have been pretty LUCKY in disassembling/reassembling bolts without a tool, I do not recommend it (especially the re-assembling!!!!). Searching for the extractor plunger will drive you nuts!

If you have never seen a bolts disassembled and do not understand how the parts interlock together, you really need to use a tool....

Oh, and lastly I recommend that you use a bolt tool to take your bolt apart...

And welcome to the forum AND your new life-long addiction of carbine collecting!!!
