Speedlock Firing Pins
Has anyone out there had experience with the "Speedoock systems alloy composite firing pins with speedlock CS Springs" put out by Superior Shooting Systems Inc. (David Tubb)
???
Also how hard is it to take apart a Rem. 700 bolt?
Thanks

Winggunner, I have installed a Tubb speedlock in one of my Rem 700's and found it to be relatively easy with a bolt disassembly tool. However I did ruin the original firing pin in the process, and I don't know how that happened! I do have my suspicions though. I like the new pin, and do believe that when looking for the last little bit of accuracy it couldn't hurt.

The key to disassembly is a crosspin which retains the firing pin. Using the tool, first you compress the original assembly to a point where you can remove said retaining pin. Then releasing the tension the original pin and spring will come free, reverse process and re-install pin. Somehow the tip of my original pin became bent during disassembly, I was worried when putting the new assembly in.

So where do I get this tool? I am fairly handy, is the tool; really necessary?

WG,

They work as advertised, especially on rifles with renowned slow lock time. I installed one in my Mauser 300 H&H and my 7X64 M70 and they helped tremendously. I am getting one for my M700 now.

Cheers

Did it require any special fitting or is it basically a drop in type of thing?

Cheers

Sinclair International is where i sourced the parts and tool. They are the place to go for the accuracy oriented shooter.

For the Pre 64, it was a fitted thing, as the cocking piece had to work with the 3-pos safety. For the Mauser, it is drop in, except check the length of the nose of the pin, you might have to cut it. SSS supply them long(er) than what is needed.

I consider them the one worthwhile part that gives a step change in accuracy.
