Youngeyes Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I have a Desert Eagle 50 AE. The bolt stabilizer pin is stuck. It's all the way in and I can't get it out. The bolt moves freely. Suggestions? I'm not sure when this got stuck. I only noticed it because I went to remove the bolt for cleaning. It looks like it might be stuck in because of carbon build up. I've tried soaking it with wd40 but no success.The bolt cannot be removed until I fix this first. Can I just leave it this way and safely keep shooting the gun?

ACree Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 When you say "all the way in" do you mean that it is pushed down into the slide to the point where it cannot be removed with the tool? Also, are you pushing the bolt head inward when you are trying to removed the pin? As far as soaking parts, WD40 is not going to dissolve carbon buildup or any such material that might be causing the part to stick. I would keep the area well covered in bore solvent for a while and let that go to work on removing the deposits. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
