thanks for the help do youknow if they make a tool to pull the firing pin sear back I know they make one for the remington 700 and what do you use to hold the bolt I was trying to take the bolt apart with out leaving marks all over it last time i did one i used vise grips to pull the sear back

how did you hold the bolt when you were working on it

Just for the record I take my Abolt bolt apart using my hands only with a simple homemade wedge to hold the firing pin back in the shroud.
The trick is to first turn the shroud past the cocked position insert the wedge and then unscrew the pin assembly. If you provide your email addy I can send a picture or two.

I use a drill bit of the exact diameter of the recessed blind hole in the underside of the bolt shroud. Place the drill bit point down in a vice with about half an inch protruding from the top of the jaws and tighten the vice. Then place the bolt (with the firing pin facing you) over the drill bit pull towards you about quarter of an inch, hold the shroud down on the drill bit and unscrew the bolt body until it springs apart.
