    Have heard that story before:

    Make sure you can see that the Plunger is sitting correctly on the flat of the **Extractor**.
    Often see these rotated around...... just waiting to fly off.
    I bring a parts pouch with me when at the range. Have a bolt tool, extra bolt internals.. among other things, to include a extra complete bolt.

    Thanks for the tip Charlie,I bought a USGI bolt tool the same day I bought my carbine back in the day and that thing makes disassembly and assembly pretty easy. The forked end of the Pawl makes seating that detent cake. If I remember right,I had to order my bolt tool from a guy in Franceicon I believe it was and luckily it had already arrived at my house by the time I took my carbine out to shoot it for the first time when it threw the extractor.that's why I kick myself every time I think about how I shot it without cleaning the bolt prior to shooting it for the first time. I look at it as it wasn't the carbines fault, it was completely my fault for not making sure everything was right before I shot it. And just like the story in the link you provided, when my bolt threw the extractor,my firing pin also backed out and jammed up the action. Luckily it didn't hurt anything though but it could have. Lessons learned the hard way lol.
