5c Remington Bolt Disassembly Tool

#1 Postby tachyon » Mon May 10, 2021 2:46 pm

I like having the right tool for the job but what if you, like me, don't own the right tool, and (perhaps) can't even buy it because nobody has one in stock in Australia.

To disassemble a Remington bolt you need a bit of garden wire and a 5c coin. You don't actually need to file the 5c into a flat but it does work better like that.

To use the tools find a nice hardpoint like your safe or vice handle and pull firmly - it takes about 5kg of force to compress the firing pin spring and reveal a conveniently placed cutout.

Put the 5c coin into that slot and release the pressure.

Now simply unscrew the bolt shroud.

To reassemble just reverse the process.

I have the right tool now but in the past I used my bootlace
You might as well be yourself, everyone else is already taken.

I have both. Why I have two is beyond me!

To compare, in case one is better, don’t ask me how I know this :lol:

No one mentions the old Omark. You don't need any special tool except an appropriate coin to take the guts out of the bolt body.

Just screw up the rear of the bolt clockwise past the cocked position. You can usually do this by hand although a large pair of pliers might help if yoy have weak hands. It will simultaneously force the pin back a bit more and as you start jumping the cocking ramp it is forced even further back. At this point you can insert a coin in the slot and unscrew the entire assembly. You MUST of course be careful not to let the coin come out while dissassembled. Very simple, but a lot of thought went into that action. Unfortunately, they were so successful that there was little incentive to improve on the few faults that they had. As rifle weight limits were increased, they never changed and utilized possible improvements.
