A dime or a dog tag and your boot lace work fine for taking your bolt apart for general cleaning.

Kleinendorst has a great bolt disassembly tool. As well as a firing pin disassembly tool.

Go to Sinclair's website. Kleinendorst is the cats azz for firing pin spring removal/replacement. They also have a tool to remove the entire assembly from the bolt body. I like the latter on my bench and when checking OAL, it makes fp removal so.easy.

thanks, really appreciate your info. have been "waiting" to put together a brownells order.. always seems there is something else to get

You don't need any of these tools, like someone stated earlier, you can use a penny to break down your bolt and if you want to replace the spring then all you need is a 3/4" piece of bic pen. It's that simple

thanks, there were about 5 other items I needed, so just added that tool to the order. Fairly inexpensive, so its all good. ive wasted more $$ before
