I'm working on my first Howa build. After doing a few savages and old mil builds I'm up for trying something new. After prying the factory barrel from the howa1500 action.
( Me on an Action wrench w/ 6ft breaker and friend on a plumbers wrench w/6ft breaker. Barrel vice could not stop it from spinning even with cow hid or rosin...The factory cerakote finish is super slippery!) I have a feeling this going to be one of the more challenging builds...
I'm ready to lap the lugs and true the bolt face. I find myself with a few questions.
Started tapping on the pin for the ejector and it doesn't seem to want to budge.
I'm wondering if there is a specific direction the pins holding the ejector need to pushed out on?
Does the extractor need to be pressed in a certain amount to free the pin?
