Remington 700 full bolt strip and assemble.

[illae]

Hey all,
I am looking for complete instructions on how to assemble an R700 bolt from top to bottom. Also the tools needed for it. I've used my google-fu and have come up empty.

I am specifically looking for how to compress the firing pin spring so the cross bolt goes in, as well as installing the ejector plunger, spring and pin.

Youtube was also coming up empty for me.

Thanks in advance!

You actually don't need fancy tools. Parallel grip pliers and a dime, a small punch to fit the retaining pin hole for the ejector, a small punch for the cocking piece cross pin, a small piece of 1/4 inch tubing about 3/4 of an inch in length and a padded vice will make it easier.

With the pliers pull the cocking piece back and insert the dime in the small slot on the side of the cocking piece, ease it ahead and the dime will hold it in a position that the assembly will unscrew. Place the piece of tubing over the firing pin tip and screw the assembly back into the bolt body... the tubing will bottom out and compress the spring and expose the cross pin holding the cocking piece in place. Drive the pin out and remove the cocking piece, unscrew the assembly from the bolt... they are under spring tension now, don't loose them. Drive the ejector retaining pin out and remove the ejector. Usually the cross pin hole in the cocking piece and in the firing pin only match up well in one of the two positions possible.

Don't lose any parts, or pinch any flesh..

Watched that one, and it uses special tools. I was hoping for a way to accomplish without. . . Thanks! I appreciate the link though.

Awesome. This is exactly what I am looking for. And This is something that I think I can absolutely do!

Now I just need to figure out the ejector pin and spring.

That is the simplest... if you can't do that, you shouldn't be trying anything.

Don't try and remove the extractor... not a do it yourself job for sure.

To remove the firing pin assembly, I use some 550 cord, remove the inner strands to make it more pliable then tie the ends to make a loop. Slip the loop under your foot, hook the notch of the firing pin head on the loop and pulling upward and at an angle, turn the bolt assembly to screw it off.

A shoelace and a pin punch and you have your bolt disassembled. Pretty easy, leave the extracter you dont need to removes it.

Or just buy a couple cheap tools that make the job easy to do. No need to jimmy-rig things with shoe laces if this is something that you need to do more than a time or two.

This was the one I used to assemble the bolt. I cut a .223 case in half and was able to get the whole thing together in about 5 minutes.
