Upside down or rotated? That pin never came out for me, but it’s able to rotate. When it was apart I could rotate it so that nipple went into a slot that stopped it from being depressed.
Disregard my last post. I got it now. I rotated that pin 180°. I didn’t realize there was a channel for that tit to ride in and still allow that plunger to be depressed to facilitate taking the bolt apart.
Yeah I struggled to get it back together last night, but this morning I did it 3 or 4 times easily. Just one of those things once you do it it’s mindless.
I had the same issue the first time I took mine apart. I ended up watching and rewatching the bolt assembly vid Ted did to figure out what I did wrong.
Yeah I watched that video 10x last night lol Now that I’ve got it I see what he’s doing but the video doesn’t show the details I wish it did. I also ended up taking it apart the wrong way to decock it and had to learn how to fix that mistake too. I hope to never make that mistake again.
Agreed. I’m glad I worked my way through it.
I emailed ARC who got back to me. He said it doesn’t really matter, but generally they put the rounded side of the pin with the hole in it facing downwards.
Any deets on that swept ball handle? By the sounds of it, the standard ball is too short, but that thing is giving me serious AI/Tempest/Sterk vibes.
Why do you say that the standard ball is too short? Curious. I believe that when you pay for the swept handle it is the same handle, just bent.
Okay, I see that and can only say that is a preference that I’m not fond of. I don’t like a huge ham-handed bolt knob. If you are one who prefers longer bolt knobs, then that’s fine.
I mostly like the idea of swept handles. I really missed my Sterk knob when I went from Tikka to Lone Peak and a TL3.
Where did you get those screws, and do you have the specs?
Buy a handle and have someone bend the sweep into it, at least that’s what I did.
I’m not sure on angle. Fritz at Black Canyon Customs did mine
