Anyone got an effective method to change the main spring on a Rem 700 firing pin, without buying the Firing Pin Tool. ?? Figured someone has a method that might be effective and save me a few bucks....
Thanks

Get a small piece of steel pipe about the diameter of the part of the firing pin that makes contact with the bolt and stops its forward movement. Cut it so that its approximately 3/4" long. Slip it over the front of the firing pin- screw the firing pin down into the bolt until the firing pin cross pin protrudes and bang it with 3/16" punch and you can disassemble the assembly change out the spring........

Got it done today with a metal tube intsert made by swaglok, that I found at work, it was already the perfect length with the right size hole as well..........Found 2 so if someone needs one, I got an extra ill ship to them for free...........Its not as heavy duty as what is pictured in Triple 6's thread but it works just fine!!!!!
Thanks again guys!!
