rem. 700 bolt questions
after installing a jewel trigger in my 700 7mag, i am looking at replacing the firing pin assembly w/another system and have a few questions.
is it a reccommended improvement? david tubb system the way to go?
i see several bolt dissambly tools such as the KLEINENDORST BOLT DISASSEMBLY TOOL and a few others that are available.
any suggestions/tips are appreciated.
THANKS!

Those aftermarket strikers come very highly recommended by the makers, and many of those who've bought them.

I made my own disassembly tool from a piece of angle iron, two small scraps of steel and a 3/8" bolt, but if you don't have a welder you probably should buy one of the tools.

This is a simple M700 dissambly tool that I made. Works quite well. The shoulder on the firing pin bottoms out as the assembly is screwed into the tool exposing the cross pin in the cocking piece for takedown.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Lighten & Time the OEM Remington firing pin.

The aftermarket aluminum shank firing pins will break.


Keep'em in the X ring,

ok, have decided that all i want to do bolt-wise is be able to disassemble it and clean/lube it. for now. there are several listed in the brownells catalog. can one of you gurus please reccommend one? none of them are out of my price range but maybe theres one you prefer? THANKS

The Kleinendorst is the way to go to get the stiker assembly out of the bolt body. Well made, easy to use. Their striker disassmbley tool is good too, if you need to go that far.

As far as replacing your firing pin/striker with lighter parts, spend the money on ammunition or components. your shooting will improve much more that buying the parts.

If all you want to do is disassemble to lube, use a penny and the edge of a workbench or vice; doesn't cost a thing 'cause you can reuse the penny.
