Tip Submitted by Reader:
Had a tip
on the Steyr I wanted to share. On my rifle, the bolt head absolutely
will not stay extended when either removing or re-installing
the bolt. Actually, it pretty much won't stay extended if it's
out of the rifle. It's a real pain, to say the least, since
it has to be extended to slip down the guide rails on the receiver
properly. What I had to do was add a dime to my cleaning kit.
I just stick the dime flat on the top of the bolt, wedging it
(gently) in between the extended bolt head and the bolt body.
This prevents the head from contracting, and stays neatly out
of the way for removal/insertion.
41) Pull cocking piece
to the rear and turn it clockwise.
42) Turn the cocking piece
clockwise until the rear tip of the striker is flush with
surface of rear of cocking piece (as shown in figure
42).
43) Make sure bolt head
and extractor are extended and aligned (as shown in
figure 43).
44) Note in figure 44
that the bottom of the bolt body has lugs or guides
that fit into a channel in the rear of the receiver.
45) Insert lugs into
channel in receiver and push bolt forward and
lock into place.
