xp 100 bolt question

[cardman5448]

I am having a problem removing the bolt shroud on an xp bolt. I have disassembled the bolt and tapped the pin out, but the shroud will not budge. Anyone have this problem or have a solution. Thanks in advance.

Isn't it threaded like the other Remington's? Matt

Once you have the holding pin out, put the firingpin in a vise and with a brass hammer tap the shroud off the shaft.
Sometimes the hole where the pin was is burred enough to cause it to stick.
It shouldn't take much effort to tap the shroud off.....

Thanks Preacher, I ground a small brass drift the width of the cocking piece slot and tapped the cocking piece off. It was pretty dad burn tight. You were correct, as the hole where the pin goes thru was burred up. All polished, new light cocking piece and spring installed and ready to shoot.

To ease the re-assembly task-
De-burr the 3/32" cross pin hole in the firing pin shank with the 1/2 round side of a needle file to allow the striker/cocking piece to slide on the firing pin shank.
