JohanM Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Need to strip the bolt of a Musgrave Target rifle. I cocked the bolt but unable to lift the tab to put it in maintenance position i.e. 90 degrees. Am I missing anything obvious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Give this a go? https://thisoldrifle.com/shooting/mauserboltdisassembly/index.asp Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1066 Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Just for information - I make one or two bolt decockers - Mauser 98, Remington 700, Sako P94s and a Remington 700 decocker and takedown tool. On the Mauser you need to push up the little spring loaded plunger before turning the bolt body to cock/uncock it. Here's the Mauser 98 tool but not sure if it will fit your bolt. And the Remington 700 decocker/takedown tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanM Posted December 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 This is a Musgrave RSA action which uses a bolt similar to a Mauser bolt. You can only disassemble it outside of the rifle. Hold the bolt in your hand or in vice. Press the pin in and then lift the safety tab. The tab does not actually change position like other Mauser action. The firing pin is held in place by a small screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
