Hi everyone, I need help. I've not used my rapid RTR/ttr for a few years and of course it's got some leaks, so I ordered myself a set of o rings and some mollykote grease, found a good guide online for stopping it down and carrying out some maintenance, so I have the regulator out, the valve out, the barrel off, trigger cassette out, but for the life of me I cannot get the bolt and hammer out, and am not sure how to proceed without casing damage, any direction or pointers would be helpful, thanks in advance

Ahh the anti-tamper cap
needs the centre drilling, and a torx bit tapping in.

If your going to remove the AT you can tap it around carefully with a centre punch to remove or drill the centre to a suitable size to tap a small torx bit into it or a hex bit . Take out and then split the cap off .
I don't think the caps are hardened steel..a normal decent quality HSS drill bit should do the job(dormer for example).
Or try using a reverse helix drill bit . It may well bite and remove the cap as you are drilling in reverse. Just make sure the block is supported properly (clamped up) and everything is steady. Last thing you want is the bit skidding off and damaging you or worse the block
Hammer & spring should drop straight out once the main cap is unscrewed
Bolt needs the cocking dog removing, you can either do it from the bottom of the block or by removing the steel gate and getting to it from the side.
Probably easier to do from underneath//3mm allen key
Ah finally thank you, it was literally driving me nuts lol, on the expanded drawing I have it doesn't mention it's has an anti tamper cap, but that explains why some many pictures I've looked at look different to mine and that's because they have removed the cap at some point. Thanks again for taking the time to comment it's much appreciated now I know how to proceed
Regards Jason
That's the first anti tamper cap I've ever seen ;D ;D
But that's the hammer ;) to remove the bolt above it, you need to remove the cocking dog which is just in front of the cocking handle,
the bolt will then fall out of the back.
Sorry Squinty didn't read your post right through before posting this.
