mjr88 50 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hi all As i havn't cleaned my sx3 properly for about 6 months , i thought i'd give the bolt assembly a good clean as well.. I have never done this before , so i stripped the gun down and pulled off the bolt handle. The whole bolt unit just slid out easily. The problem is reassembly. When i try to slide the bolt assembly back into the action the black plastic linkage rod keeps getting stuck on a plastic hook that is part of the trigger assembly that sticks up inside the action and stops the bolt assembly dropping into place. It doesn't move downwards only upwards , therefore creating the problem. I am not very confident or handy about stripping things down and putting things back together , but i have a feeling that the only way to put things back into place is to tap out the trigger pins , which hold the trigger unit into place. As i've already said , i am not at all confident and would rather take the gun back to the gunsmith rather than start tapping pins out. I also havn't really got any appropriate tools for this job either. All i really want to know is , can i somehow get the black linkage rod over the obstructing trigger hook without tapping out any pins and probably making thing even worse , Regards , John Here's a couple of photo's , the first showing the black hook thingy , that is stopping the linkage rod from sliding down Quote Link to post

cunninghamb 2 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I've the 8 shot version but this hasn't happened to me before, sorta same thing happened on my old auto, try pushing the hook down, like apply pressure in a clock wise direction if this makes sense, like push it forward so as it push's down and it should click into place. Hope this helps, ATB Quote Link to post
JamesK 2 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Heres some advice Don't take apart what you cant put back together also that hook thing is the hammer, just push it back to cock it. Edited May 29, 2011 by JamesK Quote Link to post
