sx3 compact disassembly issue
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2012 12:51 am
I recently bought my girlfriend a 20ga sx3 compact and I started to break it all down to do my ritualistic new
gun cleaning and I couldn't get the bolt handle off to take the bolt out! From my experience it should just be a firm pull straight out, but it won't budge. I even took pliers wrapped in a handkerchief to it to get a bit more purchase and no go. Is there something I'm missing? Some combination of positioning to go through? Bolt back? Bolt forward? Barrel off? Trigger group off? I saw the sx3 breakdown video on YouTube where the guy just "pinches" it and it comes out, but that ain't working. This isn't my first time breaking down a new gun before either. Just let me know if there's something specific I should be trying. Thanks
