Thanks for the pic of the bolt disassembly tool Sabotloader. I've got one on order from Brownell's. Skeeter, the state of Washington does not letme hunt with 209 and shotgun primers, but thanks for the information on the conversion kit. Tahquamenon, thanks for the motherly advice. When I get the bolt disassembly tool I'll pull the bolt appart and see if the firing pin/spring can be ressurrected. If not, I'll order new parts and chalk it up to lesson learned. Trust me, I will be much more religeous about proper bolt care in the future. Thanks guys for all your advice.

Don't just be a flash in the pan.
