Bushing firing pin hole.

[Baily]

I have seen some good gunsmithing videos but have not seen one on bushing the firing pin hole.I think that the lug head will come off on a Remington bolt.From the factor I think its pressed,glued or threaded in.Has anyone seen this done before? Thanks Anthony

I have bushed many firingpin holes, on Rem bolts, and never had to remove the bolt head. I believe Gre-Tan or Holland's has a video showing this procedure.

Gregg told me he would never tell how he does it. Is it a simple task to do?

Baily, read the paragraph under the pic!

Greg threads his bushings into the bolt head...
I wonder how you'll get that 700 bolt head off, and back on again ?

here is a procedure I had used since the early 1980's

Instead of bushing the firing pin hole I used the Hollands oversized firing pin kit. It works real well.

That will not solve the following problems:
blanked primers
a firing pin that comes out of the hole and then causes flyers due to interrupted travel

firing pin fit has nothing to do with blanked primers

Print out and follow Jim's instructions. I believe that it is the best way to do it.
