    Bolt Parts

    Just disassembled my bolt with the tool from Gun Parts. Worked perfectly. The extractor plunger has "half" a head. Is this correct? Also the very tip is slightly flattened. Should I just replace it? And would you suggest replacing any other parts/springs while its disassembled?

    When you assemble the bolt the plunger flat MUST rest on the extractor shelf for the bolt to work properly. If your bolt was working properly before then there is no need to replace parts.
