Fierce Rival bolt disassembly

[gpo1956]

Can anyone tell me how to disassemble the bolt on my Fierce Rival action. Instructions don't work and I didn't receive a "bolt disassembly tool. It's based on a REM 700 action but the bolt design must be different. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Can you post up some pictures of the bolt? It should help to determine how to do it, however most of them have similar steps.

Here you go. As I said, it's a 700 footprint.

Shoelace under the cocking piece, hold with foot, pull and unscrew firing pin assembly. Unscrew bolt body from cocking piece.

Cheers.

That isn't working. It won't unscrew like a Remington 700 does. I'm perplexed. I had hoped to get it done today as I'm leaving town tomorrow, but I'll just have to leave it and call Fierce when I get back.

This is what I watched when I did mine
Use a rag or glove and push the back of bolt and turn at same time for reassembly.

You may only need to turn the cocking piece clockwise, then the firing pin assembly comes out…
Some screw in, some have detent balls that go in a hole or cutout.

Cheers.
