Problem solved.

Thanks for the assistance.

Guys:

Thanks for the suggestions.  The bolt is now reassembled.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a trouble shooting venture, as the rifle still will not fire.  The primer hits are too light to provide ignition.

Thanks again,

Bob

Thanks for your help.

Managed to remove shroud, remove bolt handle,remove mainspring, inspect and lube.  Currently having difficulty reinserting bolt handle.

Bob

Thanks.

These operations will take place this weekend.

Best,

Bob

I have a new to me 85 Sako and the same part was included as part of the pkg.

I'm not sure if the cap is removable, but I have had the stock professionally coated, and the cap was part of the process.

I believe cerakote was used.
