The way in which I described reassembly would be the only way to do it so it becomes one solid mass again. It would be very interesting to learn how you would complete the task yourself. How would you do it? |

OK,there is something you can do without all the Bruhaha. Swap the striker, cocking piece & locking screw as a set. all No4 or all No1. No, the No1 won't be "correct" but it will be fully functional.

I got my mini lathe setup to see if I can make a duplicate No4 striker using 5160 steel...

That’s what I suggested Shamu. Forgot about the striker locking screw…and it would be a different thread as well.

Seems to be a lot of fuss about a easy to fix problem!
It's not the first time someone has messed up a cocking piece and firing pin by forcing mismatched threads. Just buy the correct striker and cocking piece for your rifle; replace the broken tools and fit the new parts to the bolt. Check the protrusion and reader clearance are to spec' and your good to go!

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

I had one I couldn’t get out years ago ended up cutting it off and screwed it up as tight as I could in the vice and it still took some getting out
Anyhow it come apart and I got it to work properly

The real problem here are some of the parts dealers. I ordered a striker and cocking piece for a #4 rifle, got the #4 cocking piece but a #1 rifle striker. Also ordered a #4 sear but got a #1 rifle sear. of course that didn't work at all.
So, for now the #1 striker is cold thread welded to the #4 cocking piece and working amazingly well! |
