Defiance Tenacity Bolt Stripping

[nmkid]

Using the action listed above I want to use the "Wheeler Method" to resize my fired cases. However, with my limited Internet experience, I can't find which tool I need to use to strip the bolt or instructions. Help.

That will get the firing pin assembly out.

^^^ Get the Remington 700 one.
When screwing the firing pin assembly all the way back in, you will back it out slightly to get notches lined up before releasing the tool.

This mini punch set works good to drive the pin out, for ejector removal.

So, are you guys saying stripping the Defiance is the same as the Rem?

Yes

Yep. You don't even need the tool... You can get it apart with some 550 cord and a dime.

Old school.

Old school.

That Kleinendorst tool is a good investment, isn’t it!

 

[JEFFPPC]

That Kleinendorst tool is a good investment, isn’t it!

Absolutely! I have 2. One on my bench and one I keep in my range box. The shoestring and a dime days are history.

That is what I use.

Catch the cocking piece with flat on a closed pocket knife and pull it back. I use a flat bladed screw driver at my work bench. I can evaluate the spring strength while doing a quick 30 second inspection when a gun comes it.

A friend of mine demonstrated the Kleinhorst tool to me. (Thanks Aaron!) When searching to buy one, I found the Kleinhorst for $60 and a cheaper one for 1/2 of that.
I bought the cheaper one. It works, but feels cheap.
Were I starting over, I would get the Kleinhorst.
