Nesika Bay K Action Striker help needed

[Superx1]

I have the original Nesika Bay Model K action made in Polusbo WA and need to replace the Striker spring. The problem is that the striker appears to be threaded on to the cocking piece with no set screws or roll pin to keep it from turning. There are flats machined on the shoulder of the striker but it will not turn easily and I don't have a way to secure the cocking piece or shroud to put more torque on the flats of the striker.

Does anyone know how to get the striker of without damaging the assembly? It may be locktited in place but before I put heat to the cocking piece I would like someone who has done this to another Nesika Bay action to advise me. I know the new Nesika actions have two set screws in the bottom of the cocking piece but mine does not as it is the original production from WA. Any help would be appreciated.

So, if I am not mistaken, Glenn that owns Defiance was the original owner of Nesika.
Maybe you could get an answer there?
As for me, I have never owned either Nesika or Defiance.
I also think Chad Dixon, owner of Longriflesinc, worked for Nesika. Maybe he would help; maybe he won't.

The Poulsbo Nesika Ks that i have worked on have the two set screws on the bottom of the cocking piece like you describe. If yours is different then there may have been a change somewhere along the way.

I’d definitely talk to chad Dixon.

Here is a pic of the striker and the cocking piece.

I bet that one comes apart like a remington with a crosspin youll see when the spring is compressed

 

[Superx1]

No cross pin in the cocking piece. I compressed all the way and checked.

Gotta unscrew then. Figured it would have a lock screw
