KNOWLEDGE CENTER

GET TO KNOW YOUR SOLUS SHORT ACTION

The heart of the Solus product line is the Solus Short Action. This product serves as the keystone in an ecosystem that provides shooters with an open-source, user-configurable, and quality-manufactured foundation for their precision bolt action build. Compatible with industry standard pre-fit and drop-in components the Solus removes many barriers to entry often associated with custom rifle builds, allowing the shooter to build a system that is specific to their needs. When manufacturing a custom bolt action, quality and consistency are essential. To ensure the most precise tolerances are being held each Solus Action gets inspected by CMM (coordinate measuring machine) in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

BOLT DISASSEMBLY

The Solus bolt assembly can be readily disassembled without tools for cleaning and maintenance.

  1. With the bolt assembly removed from the action, grasp the Bolt Body with one hand and the Firing Pin Shroud with the other.
  2. Twist the Shroud approximately a ¼ turn clockwise. The Firing Pin assembly will snap free when the retention lugs enter their recesses.
  3. Once free, the Firing Pin Assembly can be removed from the bolt body.
  4. With the Firing Pin Assembly removed, the Bolt Head Retaining Pin can be taken out. Slight resistance may be encountered when removing the pin. Applying light pressure to drive the bolt head into the bolt body will allow the retaining pin to drop free.
  5. The bolt head can now be removed from the bolt body.

To reassemble the Bolt Assembly, follow the disassembly process in reverse order.

  1. When installing the Bolt Head into the Bolt Body, the Safety Lug needs to be aligned and seated within the mating/clearance pocket on the Bolt Body.
  2. When installing the Bolt Head Retaining Pin, ensure the through hole is in line parallel with the bolt body. This can be confirmed by the groove in the retaining pin head being perpendicular to the bolt.

installing firing pin

  1. Align the retention lugs to the appropriately sized recesses (Lugs are two sizes).
  2. Once aligned, push the Firing Pin Assembly into the rear of the Bolt Body. An increased amount of force is required to get the Firing Pin Assembly to fully seat.
  3. Once seated/compressed, rotate the shroud approximately ¼ turn counterclockwise until the detent is engaged.

*Note – Do not over rotate the Firing Pin Assembly in to the “cocked” position. This will prevent you from being able to install the bolt back into the action. You must position the Firing Pin Assembly in to the “neutral” position (see following images).
