Bit came off Blaser R8 assembly when changing calibres
- Thread starter bowji john
- Start date
I was thinking along those lines
I’ve sent a similar question to Blaser
I once saw a video of the bolt carrier being disassembled and reassembled
Talk about 50,000 rivets flying in close formation!!
The thing has about 200 parts

Blaser were really helpful
Just told me to take the problem to my local dealer
Interesting level of support

They have your money so why should they bother?

I've just had a thought. It wouldn't engage the spring from the barrel side, by any chance?
I've never even held a Blaser though, so I'm just guessing.
Edit. Scratch the above idea. It's nonsense. I didn't understand how the bolt head was assembled until I checked a YouTube video. Does that wee part actually sit inside the bolt body itself? With the spigot centering the spring itself? If that's not it I'll eat my hat!

Watching videos like that really brings home to me why I love my two Parker-Hales.
Two best suggestions thus far is the end of the .22LR barrel
It has a rather complex arrangement and it could be a guide for the round
The other is a guide for the firing pin spring assembly on the bolt carrier
I shall check it out tomorrow
Blaser were ‘less than useful’
So it is down to my expert gunsmithing skills which I’d describe as ‘un-gifted amateur’
I do hope the problem is with the .22LR barrel, as that just takes one calibre out of action
The bolt carrier being bugger*d takes out 4 calibres

It wouldn't be a part from elsewhere on the rifle, would it?
It happened when I was farting around changing bolt heads
The rest of the rifle was elsewhere on the bench
In my hands was the bolt assembly- It is from this that, I bet, it flew off

I just sent an update to Blaser indicating that I’m not hugely impressed by their initial response
They are the experts
I’d expect a little support from someone on the team
