Does anyone know where to find an instructional video/clip on how to field strip an HK91/G3? I searched THR and youtube but no luck. I want to see how they work before actually trying/buying. Thanks.
Absolutely.Does it get easier with practice???

Yeah, if you push the bolt back so that the roller bearings lock out, the bolt won't go back in. Just rotate the bolt head and push the bearings back flush... no big deal.
The locking lever on the left side of the bolt is the real culprit. When that snaps over the ridge on the back-left of the bolt head, it's silly to try to fight it.There must be some variation in clearances that affects how much force is required to push the rollers back in. On my bolt it required pliers and a lot of effort.
I've heard of european military guys advocate putting the bolt head & carrier assembly into the receiver backwards and giving it a good whack to extend the bolt head. Sounds fine to do with a rifle owned by the state, but not something I'd do with mine.
