Bolt Rollers

Post by bneer72 »

Does anyone know how to reinstall the bolt rollers onto the bolt with the retainer?

OK, i finally after a little bit finally got the roller reassembled. However, what a pain. All it takes is patience.

Boy, if I could sell boxes of patience, I could make a living just off the guys here. :)

None of this stuff is easy, but it's all doable, and much easier once you've done it.

Enjoy. :mrgreen: :wnana:

You learn the tricks as you tag along!

The trick is to press the roller towards the "o"-spring and at the same time use a sharp object (I use a scalpel) and press the end of the spring inwards. In the end it will snap shut!

Yes, that is exactly what I ended up doing. Of course that was after trying it several other ways first.
