I am seriously having a VERY Hard time getting the ejector with spring to go in without it popping out and flying all over the place.
I read a guide on the net that shows pics of the author using the service tool included with the rifle. He explains that you can hold the ejector with spring into the bolt by using the service tool.
The service tool that I have has a dimple in the middle of the head most likely for this purpose, but when I push it down to the rim of the bolt, it's still not far enough to allow room for the extractor pin to push in all the way...
Pushing the ejector any further is pretty much impossible with the service tool...
I'm determined that this can be done WITHOUT buying the 60$ bolt tool from brownells which makes the job 100 times easier.
Are there any tricks or tips you guys can shell out?
The guide for the disassembly/re-assembly is here
Thanks for any and all help in advance.
