So I followed the guy on surplusrifle's instructions to take the bolt out of the M95. Can someone please explain to me on how to put the bolt back in the rifle? I have tried pushing the trigger forward which does allow the notches on the bolt to align with the receiver and slide forward on it about a half inch, but then it stops dead in its tracks. What seems to be holding this bolt from going back into the receiver? |
| Yeah it's a biatch! You have to pull the bolt head out to get it to all align, but then you run into problems of it slamming back everytime you try to put it in the receiver. One trick I found was to pull the bolt head out, then put a dime between the bolt head and the bolt body, this will keep the bolt head extended so you can slide it in the receiver. If you look at Fig 43 in the bolt disassembly directions on surplusrifle.com, you put a dime right there to hold it open. Good luck, hope this helps. |

Thanks for the help guys, I just cannot believe it takes that much to get the bolt back in the rifle. Funny thing is that figure on surplusrifle is the only figure I read past, and it was the only one that mattered. Anyhow it's back together and a dime has been added to my collection. I will be posting pictures of this rifle I received from classicarms.us tomarrow in this section. |
Yes, it is, but being corrosive one must take a lot of extra care in cleaning or end up with a rusted up gun, no? |
| I wouldn't say a lot of extra care, but yes if you don't take any measures after shooting corrosive then it'll start rusting. I used to be scared of corrosive ammo because of all the extra steps, but after a little research (and you'll get a million different ways to clean everything) I just squirt windex on the bolt head and down the barrel as soon as I finish shooting and then clean like normal when I get home. I've been doing this for years and my barrels look like they do the day I bought them. |

Cleaning for corrosive ammo can be as simple as a couple of water wetted patches to start your normal cleaning procedure. Dennis Jenkins

| The projo diameter for a 8X56R is .330. That diameter doesn't leave many options for reloading. One of these days I'm gonna slug my bore for the hell of it and see what the diameter really is. Also, fear not the mercuric primer.....................just clean right away. When I'm done shooting corrosive at the range, I run one patch thru with solvent and that keeps everything loose and starts to neutralize the corrosive salts before cleaning time at home. |
