I bought this gun used so am not sure of its history , other than it being a 2014 model, I wanted to clean everything up on my bolt, the firing pin will not come out, it seems that the chase for the firing pin is off centre as noted from the impact area on the striker face as well as visually on the bolt, after hours of trying to get it out, also using my ultrasonic cleaner to possibly clear any debris, it now moves almost all the way out, but at the last 1/8' before it comes out it will not budge, any one else have this issue?
since it is a 223 it wouldn't be issues from previous corrosive ammo usage.
I would just like to be able to maintain and remove all parts of the gun for cleaning. especially a floating firing pin (slam fire possibility)
 
I've had the same issue. I just can't get the proper angle to get it to fall out. I've been trying for almost a year. I clean the internal bolt area by using Wipe-Out. Let it sit for about 20 minutes and then blow it clean with compressed air. Then reassemble. The firing pin rattles away just like it's supposed to.

But it is frustrating that I haven't been able to get it out.
