Ross MKI Bolt Dissembly

[Anaxes]

Your spring is busted... Getting them apart was never the problem. Putting them back together was always the question. That's how guys ended up with a Ross bolt in the forehead. I expect this is why you haven't had returns on this one so far...we're all waiting to see... Later they were riveted together so they couldn't be user stripped.

That’s the wrong model of bolt. Pity this didn’t strip in the same manner as the MKII or MKIII - it would’ve been easier.

And yes, checking the manual, it seems the spring has snapped. 😕

That part doesn't matter and you know it...

the spring has snapped.

I stand corrected then...it's busted...

Have fun with this one...

The broken firing-pin spring seems to be the cause of the resistance. Between sourcing a new spring and taking it to a gunsmith next week, it'll be awhile till it's fired.

This is what I used as a guide for stripping and reassembling the bolt.
