Tikka 695 bolt disassembly

[polebilly]

I have a Tikka 695. Turn away from detent remove shroud. Insert allen wrench between cocking piece and firing pin, turn to fired position. There is no play, still tight. Whats up?

Wiggle and pull. Soak in some Kroil? The handles are pretty tight sometimes.

Thank you for the response. In the videos you see the firing pin has slack when in the disassembly position, my is still tight. Should I try to tap the handle out or is there a problem. This is a new to me rifle and I don't want to get in a situation? Thanks again.

Can you post pics? Once you drop the firing pin into the fired position, it should be loose and wiggle easily.

Oh..........be very careful with that bolt. A new one will cost you north of $400.... if you can find one!
