Winchester 100 stuck firing pin

I am trying to remove the firing pin from the bolt of my winchester 100 so that it can be returned to Winchester for the recall replacement firing pin. I have fremoved the bolt sleeve and bolt sleeve locking pin and all that remains is the bolt body, firing pin, and firing pin spring. The firing pin will compress all the way to the bolt body and freely retracts about 11/16" before stopping. I can compress the spring enough to see the other end and it is not hung up on any part of the bolt body.

My question is: Shouldn't the firing pin and spring slide out freely at this point and if not, is there some other step I need to take before I put it in a vise and apply enough force to back it out? Any ideas?
