Gents:
Have a 2-position Chapman I think on a 98 bolt. Is there an easy way to take the bolt down?

Tomk,
Its not real easy.Take the bolt and clamp the sear, on the cocking piece,in a vise.Grab the shroud and pull on it until it clears the cocking piece,than insert a dime, or someother similar object,between the cocking piece and the bolt shroud.This will allow you to back out the firing pin assembly.I hope this is clear.

Thank-you Gentlemen, for the financial advice. It certainly would be easier than the way I was doing it and a lot easier on my hands to boot.

The two position safety kinda compromises field stripping doesn't it? Smiler

Thanks.
