Has anyone successfully taken apart the bolt on their Enfield? I already took off the extractor/bolt head but cannot get the screw at the rear of the bolt to come out. I already have the tool for unscrewing the firing pin coming in the mail.

Life is like having a map with precise directions and exact stops, you find out that your directions and stops change as you progress further down your original map. -
Simple answer is don't do it unless it;s broken. get brakleen and sray it inside so all the crud comes out then do the same with Break free or another CLP. the armorers never dissassembled the bolt unless it was broken. -
It's not hard, but you need the firing pin tool or make one. You need to get the screw out of the rear before you try to unscrew the firing pin.Originally posted by FastFingerComment

and depending on the firing pin tool maker, the "teeth": are liable to break off/bend if the firing pin is seized"You see in this world theres two kinds of people my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig... You Dig" Blondie from TGBUComment

I had no problem on a No 5. The screw came out of the rear of the cocking piece rather easily. The firing pin came out easily with a tool I bought from Brownell's.

Unless you have a broken pin or spring I would just leave it be. If you want to clean it out, a can of brake cleaner works great.Comment
