Default RE: Rem 700 bolt disassembly

No special tool is required.When you remove the bolt you will see two projections at the bottom rear of the bolt.I simply hook one of these on my loading bench and pull on the bolt.The firing pin spring will compress which will allow the firing pin follower to project beyond the bolt shroud exposing a slot on one side.I simply place a penny in this slot and release the bolt.The penny will keep the firing pin follower in place so you can unscrew the firing pin assembly.However before you unscrew the firing pin assembly take note of it's position in the bolt so you can return it to the same position upon reassembly.Simply degrease and clean the inside of the bolt and reinstall the firing pin assembly.Properly position the firing pin assembly in the bolt and remove the penny the same way that you installed it.
