SVT-40 Bolt Disassembly

[jcuffe6240]

Just wondering if anyone has attempted the disassembly of their SVT-40 bolts. I was looking at the extractor and wondered how it came out. I imagine that the firing pin also get re-assembled dry like the SKS. Thoughts?

I think you have to move the retaining pin at the rear of the bolt to get it out, but I cannot get it to move no matter how much I push.

The firing pin is removed after drifting the pin at the rear of the bolt. Should be assembled dry. For the extractor, if you look at the rear, there,s a slot, using a pointed tool, the extractor plunger is pushed back then the extractor can be removed. In practice, that plunger can be a ##### to depress so patience maybe required

I imagine that it is removed the same way that an AG42B extractor is removed. Here is the AG method.

Removal of extractor;
Take out the extractor tool from the tool case.
Insert the tool into the slot in the extractor with the pointed end against the extractor pin (see picture above).
Push the pin down and remove the extractor by tilting it down across the bolt face.
The extractor should only be removed if it (or the spring) needs replacing.

Assembly
The extractor is installed in the bolt as follows;
Place the extractors lower inside edge on the pinhead. Note that the head should not be placed in the cut on
the underside of the extractor.
Push the extractor straight down (compress the spring) until it is lined up with it’s slot in the bolt.
Still holding it down, push it in until the pin slides into it’s position.

Yes same as a AG42 and also on VZ 58.
