I just bought a $ 10 Remington (Green blister pack) Factory bolt disassembly tool. It's a cylindrical barrel made of resin that's about 1.25" in diameter and about 1 3/8" high.

I have read from the instruction manual how to pull the firing pin and spring assembly from the bolt body, that was easy using my vise and a nickel clamped in place and turning the bolt body. So far so good....

Now how do I use this $ 10 factory tool ? :bangHead: Am I stupid or what ? :rolleyes:

Suggestions from you M700 experts ??

I found this in the general firearms discussion forums:

I've got the firing pin assembly and the shroud... I dunno how this is fitting together....

AFAIK the cylinder tool that you describe is what the factory sold too pull the firing pin assembly out of the bolt, much the same as the nicklel in the vise. It fits over the bolt shroud and is cocked to one side which pulls back and holds the firing pin. The tool you need is for taking the shroud and firing pin apart?
Is this the tool you bought?

the cylinder slips over the end of the bolt shroud and then the little hook type thing(on the tool) fits into the cocking piece, lever the tool over to pull back on the cocking piece and then turn the shroud/firing pin assembly out of the bolt body.
At least I think this is the tool you are desribing.
The other tool to remove the firing pin from the shroud/cocking piece i shape kinda like a C with the on end threaded to allow the bolt shroud to be screwed into it. The other end has a hollow threaded bolt in it that you thead inwards towards the firing pin and it pushes back on the firingpin/spring which exposes the cocking piece from the bolt shroud so you can remove the pin, holding the cocking piece to the firing pin, with a punch.
I hope my description makes some sense, lol.
 
Fozzy: That's it... the link sure helped. That cylindrical tool is the one I bought. Now I don't think I really need it anymore, that is after seeing what it can do ... I could have done this all along without this fancy tool.

Live and learn.

Barney, for 10 bucks keep it in your carry pack .Hard to find a vise on the range.
Pierce a primer and get the pin stuck with crap ,it's a lot easier than carrying a vise. Loop of shoelace works ok too but that plastic's bit is handier.
As Keith professes carry an allen key,screwdriver or sledgehammer for every nut and bolt on your gun cause you ARE going to need them some day on the range.
As far as firing pin swap ,the compression tool and drift pins are best left in the trucks toolbox.I've had to "clean out" a fouled spring in the middle of a relay before and that "green tool" did it in time to finish relay.
Now when you join the 6.5er's it is a must have.Just like a condom.You'd brag to your buds(in your younger days pre wed) you got one in your wallet JUST IN CASE!!!

Hey Navyshooter:

After that 1/16" allen key fiasco with the 3 little set screws on the Leupold VariXIII, I've learned....

I sold that great scope and switched to Leupold Mark4 versions with only a SINGLE 3/32" allen key for each of the turrets. Not the 3 little 1/16" set screws that so easily undo by themselves in the middle of my 200m deliberate sighters.

Better yet, I'm shooting with an ACOG TA31F chevron version this coming season. Yehaaa....No more knobs to turn.

In the meantime, ONT00001, I'm gonna take your advice and learn how to strip my M700 bolt without the nickel clamped in the vise routine.

Cheers and thanks for the advice.
