Disassemble your bolt all the way without expensive tools. Change Remington 700 firing pin, bolt shroud.

I've commented once before but I'm going to comment again. I used your tubing trick tonight and found it to work quite well. I shortened my tube from 1.000 inch to .700 inches and found it worked even easier. You don't have to compress the spring as much while trying to catch the thread. Additionally you can use the threads to compress the spring and reveal the pin for removal. I might also add you don't want to compress the spring any more then necessary to expose and remove the retaining pin. Sure beats shelling out $$$ for the tool.

Thank you, sir! This totally worked. That copper tubing was indeed expensive.... too rich for my blood. I ended up using that plastic tube that comes with dog poop bag rolls. Only needed half an inch of it to expose that pin.

This a great tip to save money , thanks . I used a tube of plastic worked great but stuck in the bolt. I removed it with a small wood paint brush by sticking it the tube and pulling it out. But, anything small and tube like will work , nice thank you saved money on tools.

Anyone notice he used the second slot in the back of the bolt to place the penny in? Instead of the first....great video and a brilliant idea.

Good video. Great idea. Took a pipe cutter and cut a .223 case down to about an inch or so, drilled out the flash hole and badda bing. Way cheaper than the brownells kit. Now all I need is a string loop, a penny and a chunk of brass to pull apart the whole assembly. Thanks for the video brother.

Excellent. I got a new David Tubbs Firing pin and dual spring and wanted to put it in, but I did not have any tubing laying around the apartment. Well, I did have a bunch of .223 empty brass. A couple of quick cuts and a cleanup with sander and bingo. Worked fine! Thanks, you just saved me some cash.

I had the same idea, but I was too afraid I would crush the brass or copper. I was thinking of using a 556 case and cutting and then I had the copper pipe idea but puss’D out

Now, do you have to worry about firing pin protusion distance when you change shrouds? I believe factory spec is between .044 and .060. And if so, does your method allow for measuring that? Great idea, thanks for the vid!
@scottgreatkids7 жыл бұрын
Sorry I didn't see this sooner, I think you had better ask your local gunsmith this question.... firing pin protrusion should be measured with micrometers.

Lubricate with grafite powder you will get better performance in cold weather. Grease will slow down firing pin lock time
@scottgreatkids3 жыл бұрын
Valid point but I live in a swamp and we don’t get too cold here, we do however need corrosion control. I only take bolts apart when needed so I’ll take the grease.

If you go to all the trouble to take off the scrould go ahead and replace that snake spring ,I put a sleeve over my boot made from shrink tubing ,cut five coils off stock spring and replaced it ,,it works fine without binding ,I think I'm going to break down and buy a grey_tan speed lock in the future why in hell Remington put those damned snake like springs in them I'll never know I'd like to tell the nitwit w ho came up with that idea how stupid it was,what was wrong with the old type,,,,,,nothing,,,so they had to change it ?????
