1. Using a 2mm (metric) hex wrench, loosen and halfway unscrew the
small set-screw located in the bolt head. It is
located underneath and at the rear of the
bolt.
2. Using the 209 Depriming tool or a wide
blade flat-headed screwdriver, unscrew the
striker counterclockwise, located at the front
of the bolt and remove it from the bolt body.
Helpful Hint: Secure the 209 Depriming tool
in a pair of vice grips and use the vice grips
for more leverage when unscrewing the striker
from the bolt body.
3. Separate the striker, spring and bolt head.
4. Clean bolt parts with hot, soapy water using
a nylon brush to remove residue.
5. Lightly lubricate all parts using light gun
oil.
Note: Do not use grease or heavy lubrication
on these parts. In cold weather they become thicker and can affect the
function of the bolt possibly resulting in a misfire or unintentional
firing.
Assembly of Bolt
1. Insert the striker through the middle of the spring.
2. Insert spring & striker into the bolt body with
striker head facing opposite of body cutout.
3. Screw the striker into the bolt head. You should
be able to see the threads sticking out of the bolt
body. Note: The striker head should be approx.
1/16” below the face of the bolt body.
Note: The correct distance will be determined
when you complete assembly of the muzzleloader and test to make
sure the primer or percussion cap is being fully struck by the striker.
If the striker does not hit cap or primer, unscrew striker 1/4 turn out.
4. Reset (2mm) set screw in the bolt head.
