    Redman: Had one but sold it about 5 years ago along with my reloaded
    ammo, bullet mold, bullet sizer and home made reloading dies . Much to
    my sorrow. If I rememger correctly there is a screw in the bolt body
    holding the 2 piece bolt together which must be first removed. Not the screw in the bolt handle. This is for dissembling the rest of the bolt.
    If you completely dissemble the bolt getting it back together is a bit
    tricky as it is under spring pressure. Mine, and probably yours is the
    11.3 X 52R mm cal. Beaumont. I hope I am correct as I just remembering.
    The magazine, :Man At ARMS in the July/Aug 1993 has a interesting article concerning the Beaumonts ETC. If you have any problem getting hold of this issue I can copy it and send it to you along with reloading
    data and any info I can dig up in my files. My E mail addy is
    j3rdinf@comcast.net
