Hi-
Brand new user (today) from southern Oregon. After about 700 rounds through my .308 (fcns) I decided I should probably take a look at and clean the firing pin and internals of the bolt. It started pretty easy and then, as I've done before with other guns, I got carried away and now am wondering if my reassembly is correct. I disassembled the entire bolt w/o problem and was able to reassemble the majority of it too! However, the firing pin spring was giving me fits because of the tension involved in the re-installation of it. The retaining ring on the firing pin side of the assembly prevented me from tightening the the firing pin down all the way under tension, so I compressed the spring and then screwed the pin on until the pin was bottomed out on the threads. Then, with that side tight I tightened the opposite side (the part that houses the cocking lever) until it was bottomed out.

After cocking the gun, the bolt slid into place just fine. Trigger pulled just fine on a snap cap. Is there anything that I did wrong?

Thank you for your feedback.

Ross
