Grease Gunner Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Hi All,while shooting my M3, a faulty mag got a round loose and and before i knew it , it has gotten behind the bolt.After removing the barrel, the next step is to remove the metal clip from the grip. U tube videos dont explain anything but show it coming out the grip side and piviting down to remove it.I finally got it out and cant get the bolt out or the trigger housing to removeAny suggestions??? There are no u tube videos with sound and the ones i saw are animated.Thanks in advance\ Haris1 I got it out Damn! those spring clips are harder than xxxx to get outMaybe after 70 years it was stuck!!Happy ending Edited July 21, 2018 by Haris357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Itd been much easier to have pulled the cocking/ejector assembly out and not taken the bolt assembly apart while still in the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Haris, The M3 is very simple and disassembles in seconds, but I have to admit your question has confused me.What is the "clip from the grip" ??? Is it the trigger guard??.Your first step should have to remove the trigger guard.Next the cocking assembly.Then the bolt assembly.Have you done these steps??Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took lots of pulling to pry it out of the holenext the cocking assembly - felt like it was glued in, then voila!! it came loose and off. then the bolt assembly of courseNow its all good!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Haris,The trigger guard is easily removed/installed using the butt stock.I'll see if I can find a pic of the procedure.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
