So I go to clean my 858 after my first couple hundred rounds at the range. I watched it on you tube and thought oh thats easy. Not with mine I take out the reciever pin at the back and push in and up like the video and it stays stuck a quarter inch higher than its original position so I go to the garage to peruade it with a prybar thinking it'll be tight the first couple times. Well it doesnt budge I can put it back into position and get the pin back in but it will not come out. the bolt is in the forward position while doing this.

Anyone had this happen or am I just being stupid and missing something obvious.
 
I know nothing about it, but have you tried it while its cocked and while un-cocked?

Safety on or off?

Just throwing it out there until someone else posts.
 
Hold the slide back. Pull and hold the trigger. Let the slide forward slowly. Release the trigger.

This will let the striker move forward with out the normal impact. Might be a little less wear on the firing pin.
 
What I find the funniest is that we have stickies at the top of each fourm that explain all this stuff before people take crowbar's to there firearms.
f:P:2:
Oh ya and the rumor's on how dry firing you firearm is so bad. Ya ok that's why certain rifles and handgun's you have to just to take it apart to clean it.
What did people do before the internet?:rolleyes: hmmm I wonder...
 
Page 27 of my manual for my CZ-858 explains twice how you should disengage the firing pin as per my post above. My rumor is in print and was sent to me with my firearm.

On the other hand my Ruger .22 cal pistol tells me in the manual to pull the trigger to disengage the spring tension. Again not rumor, just another fact from a manual.

Enjoy the tibits of information and do with them what you will.

They took them apart with crow bars, hence why there are so many broken project guns on the EE.
