I have an AR rifle chambered in 7.62x39 that I need to check the Head Space on before I fire it, so I need to remove the ejector from the bolt to properly use some Go, No Go Gauges. I have never done this before and I've repeatedly been told of all the expensive tools I would need, and you just proved them all wrong with a $15 bench block and a couple of punches. I can't wait to get started thinking of all the $$ you saved me. Thanks a million. Liked and subscribed. GREAT VIDEO.

Do you use a new ejector rollpin after each disassembly or do you reuse the old pin? I hear a new rollpin often recommended by gunsmith types. Also, have you tried applying tension on the ejector during reassembly by leveraging a shell casing into the bolt face via the extractor? Appreciate the vid!
@davesgunchannel Жыл бұрын
Great comment! I use the same roll pin but I would probably replace it if I had some laying around as a Gunsmith would! Your idea for tensioning the ejector is a good one, I will definitely use it next time, thanks!!
@isaacturner199 Жыл бұрын
Just to add my two cents as an industrial maintenance guy. You always replace the rollpin if you have some laying around as he said, but at the end of the day unless there's something wrong with it (i.e. it's been really worn down from constant removal or it's deformed), the pin is gonna do it's job. It's just a piece of metal there to stop some thing from falling out.

Where does the little rubber oring go in the bolt? Do some extractors use an oring instead of the spring?

The little rubber o-ring Goes over top of the extractor spring. It is usually an optional part that improves extraction performance by increasing the spring tension. Not all bolts have one.
