For normal cleaning it is not necessary to remove the striker from the bolt body. Removing the bolt head gives adequate access to clean the interior of the bolt. The striker removal instructions are intended for first time inspection of the bolt and/or repairs of the bolt.
   
1) Make sure rifle is unloaded. Lift the rear sight leaf if your rifle has one. Make certain the safety is in the forward position.

3) Pull the bolt to the rear. When the bolt head is over the bolt head catch allow the bolt head catch to push the bolt head upwards.

11) To striker from the bolt you need a specialized tool (as shown in figure 11). You can purchase the tool shown from www.e-gunparts.com.

We recommend you order two of them as the teeth are prone to break periodically.
