I just took one apart with no damage to the barrel at all.

You need the harbor freight transfer punch set or similar. Unscrew the bullet tip, remove refill and get the biggest diameter punch that will fit.

Punch the back end (bolt action)off, get the biggest punch that will fit in the tube and punch the lower section out.

You have to remove the bolt before you try to knock the end off. Otherwise it breaks off. DAMHIKT
Loosen the screw inside the cap and unscrew the bolt from the slide. Unscrew the clip finial and remove the slide. Then you can knock out the cap fitting.

I guess I just got lucky. No problem with mine. Sounds wise either way.

how do you remove the bolt? how do you reach the screw?

The back cap threads right off ...

After this, you can reach the bolt screw from the back end, unscrew it so that you can remove the bolt by unscrewing it.

Finally, with the bolt removed, the slide can also be removed or re-positioned for left or right hand operation of the bolt action pen. (they made it this way intentionally for exactly this purpose)

I removed the cap. when i look inside i dot not see any screw. the screw is on the other end. I can not reach it when the pen is assembled


maybe i am not using the same kits that you have.

Ahh ... that may be either and older or newer design than what I have seen.

In that case, I would set the bolt to the "retracted" position and tap it out.
