Bolt on Sportsman 48-16ga-Disassembly
 

Finally got my buddies Rem Sportsman 48 shotgun to eject shells in 1 piece:)..ran about 10 shells through it and saw piece of metal fly off.Turned out to be charging handle?????Took apart-pulled bolt out to get piece of metal left in slot-firing pin in way....Does anyone know how this bolt disassembles?Thanks...

Is the piece of metal the rest of the charging handle? I've seen them fly out more than once, but never break off.
If you need to remove the firing pin, there's a small retainer pin that runs vertical through the rear of the bolt, drive it out from top to bottom. Be prepared to catch the firing pin and spring so it doesn't take off to parts unknown.
When you put the retaining pin back in, make sure the ends of the pin sit flush with the bolt body surface.
