Ok so I have this friend, right?:cool: And he got real energetic and took apart this bolt for a Parker Hale Safari, right? And now he cant seem to get it together, right? I, uh..I mean HE can't really remember how he got it apart because he got distracted for about 2 weeks after he took it apart. he didnt break anything for sure and all the parts and thingys are there.:rolleyes:

Being the good friend I am,:rockOn: I have the bolt now and, because Im such a good guy, decided to put it back together.....with your help.

Standard looking run of the mill bolt for a Parker Hale Safari. I think they call them mauser.

:bsFlag: :bsFlag:
busted....
 
If you removed the extractor from the side of the bolt you will need a special plier to re-assemble, if not the only other tool you will need is a 2" nail. Stand the firing pin on the table slide the spring over it, shroud on next. Compress the spring and that will allow you to drop the sear on next. You have to turn the sear 1/4 turn to get it to engage the lock groove. Slide the nail through the hole you see and slowly release the shroud and it will bottom on the nail. Now screw the bolt together and then you can remove the nail......Probably easier to e-mail you the PDF. PM me your e-mail address and I will e-mail you the PDF for Parker-Hale rifles.

Parker-Hale Mike's tip of using the nail is one bit to be noted. On shroud safety M98s, the safety holds instead.

I agree - it is so simple... actually if a person can't figure out how to do it, they probably shouldn't own any power tools...:D

Ok so how is it done then?.....that is what this thread is about.
 
Are the firing pin/spring/bolt sleeve/cocking piece assembled? If they aren't, start there. Put the firing pin point down on something that won't be damaged. Drop the spring over it. Compressing the spring, push the bolt sleeve down onto the firing pin. Slip the cocking piece onto the end of the firing pin, rotate it 90 degrees to lock it in place. The subassembly is now complete. Push the firing pin against a hard surface until the cocking piece protrudes from the bolt sleeve, you will see a small hole in the lug on the bottom of the cocking piece. Slip a pin through the hole to keep the firing pin in the cocked position. Screw the firing pin assembly into the bolt. When it is screwed in all the way, the bolt sleeve latch will click into place. Withdraw the pin from the cocking piece, use pliers if necessary. If the extractor was removed, it slides onto its collar from the front. The collar will have to be pinched so that the little fingers can slide into gooves on the inside of the extractor. If the bolt will not close, the bolt sleeve and cocking piece may be rotated to the uncocked position. The bolt sleeve will have to be rotated so that the cocking piece is in the cocked position.
