    Rifle bolt assembly


    I disassembled my bolt on my 308 savage axis. I had never done it before. I found some videos on YouTube, took it apart cleaned it and reassembled it. I took it to the range, put some rounds in the magazine, and no boom. I looked at bolt. Ejector was facing receiver wall instead of out. Did i put it back backwards? Never messed with trigger assembly, honestly too scared of screwing it up. Help please!

    Well, you definately put the bolt head on wrong, (Pull it and rotate it 180*) but I don't see how that would affect anything except ejection.

    I didnt think it would affect anything either. But until I get a chance to rip it apart again, I won't have a chance to look at it thoroughly. Just kinda getting ideas in my head for now.

    Just for curiosity sake, pull the bolt, de-cock it and see what kind of firing pin protrusion you have.

    That would be the extractor facing the receiver wall, not the ejector.

    Did you take the firing pin apart?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    I assume you are talking about the firing pin protruding to about the bottom of extractor...

    Can you confirm that you actually chambered a round?

    If you did chamber a round, could you see a firing pin mark on the primer?

    Really soft mark on primers. Not deep as if it was fired.... really hard to see. Will post pictures later when fiance comes back with laptop.... having trouble posting pics with phone.

    Robinhood was onto it I think, if you disassembled the firing pin, then the spring compression could be too weak.

    I slipped as this is an axis. You need to be carefull when you put the cross pin in. I think you have the pin slightly out of alignment or you put some of the parts back incorrectly.
