Before I do this. Anyone have a step by step for me. Its a 1917 enfield (remington)
Dean

it's exactly like a mauser...just like jim said

this can rip the hide right off your fingers

It is done somewhat like a Remington; use a dime and with the cocking piece sear against a sharp edge of your bench, pull down on it to retract the firing pin and insert the dime between the cocking piece and bolt shroud.

Here's the easy way:

1. Open the bolt and pull it back.

2. Put the safety on. Now close the bolt. Notice the gap that appears between the cocking piece and the shroud.

3. Put a penny into that gap. Now open the bolt again and withdraw it this time.

4. Gently unscrew the bolt shroud with your finger tips and the whole striker mechanism and firing pin comes out. Don't worry about that penny falling out. It's caught and held very tightly.
