    Rancho; In the meantime, soak your bolt in solvent for a few days. During this period take it out of the solvent several times - work the extractor, ejector plunger and firing pin. Dry it off and soak in gun oil. Drain excess and it should work fine. Take-down is still required when you get the tool, but this should make sure that it works.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    In working the extractor and ejector plunger, I use an old spent carbine case... I just put it in a the bolt face then take it out - alot.

    Thanks phil441.......will do. free is good. Also lots of good ideas with the clear bag and pre-soaking with oil. Back in the truck shop we used to call them "Jesus clips" cuz that was the only person who stood a chance of finding them.
