Thread: Stuck bits- Tikka

Hi All,

Just been doing a few adjustments to a rifle I picked up second hand.

The trigger spring wont come out of the hole as it seems stuck. I have a replacement spring but nothing I have done could get it out.

Also, the bolt handle is stuck with excessive spring tension when I try to change the handle out. Even with the bolt in a vice and some gentle taps, the handle will not move.

I fear that even if I get it out I may not be able to get it back in as there is no play in the spring when its supposed to be in position to remove the handle...

Any ideas?
