Firing pin disassembly tool?

[Chuckhunter]

Does anyone know who makes a firing pin tool for a Borden Rimrock Action. The pin has 1/2 X 20 thread. Rather than the standard Remmy 1/2 X 13 threads. And no Jim Borden does not have one and as far as I know there will be none in the near future.

I believe this is what you are looking for.

I made mine. The 1/2-20 is a standard fine thread for 1/2 inch. I bought a 13 and a 20 nut from the hardware store and welded each on a piece of bar stock. Two tools in one.

I got one from Jim, last year.
Has Rem one one side, Borden on other..

I also bought one directly from Jim a couple of years back. However, this one has both 1/2-13 and 1/2-20 thread pitch options also and is in stock:

Just looked at this...as I too need something for my BRM. Seems like you would just reverse the all-thread depending on action type...ie. thread it into the opposite end.?

Thanks guys for the information on the Midway Tool . Going to take a shot (no pun intended)on that one. Jim has been out of them since well before Dec. 2018 and my understanding is he won't be making any more for the foreseeable future. Thanks again for your help guys, much appreciated!...…………………..Chuck Loebsacck

Yes. Like Jim's tool with a 'double threaded' bolt instead of two separate bolts.

Yes one end of the tool is threaded 1/2" x 20 TPI the other 1/2" x 13 TPI. The treaded rod is the same with a hole drilled on both ends of the rod for the firing pin to slid in so you are pressing on the firing pin collar.

Be glad to lend ya mind, if need to change a pin & spring, but I’ll need it back!!

I'm good to go right now but thanks for the offer if it was aimed at me. Probably should have one on hand just in case.

I'm a big fan of this tool:

https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-...action-firing-pin-removal-tool-prod24003.aspx

It comes with an insert for 1/2-13 and one for a ruger that is close to 1/2-20 but I believe it is M12x1. It is for a ruger.

If you would like me to make you a very nice professional quality 1/2-20 insert I can make it for $25 shipped. --Jerry

I am not genetically "Okie", but I apprenticed under one and have considerable skills.

I made one of these the other day with a turn-buckle body, and a small piece of tubing to depress the firing pin collar. Works like a champ. Employee cost at the Home Improvement store I work at was eleven bucks. (about twice what this Okie wanted to pay)


I'd go with the two welded nut method, but my welder isn't set up right now. jd

Growing up poor in MO and always looking for the inexpensive self-made tool, I really appreciate this one. --Jerry

I made an Aluminum piece to cradle the bolt shroud which fit in my lathe chuck, then used the tailstock chuck to compress the spring to drive out the cross pin.

If you have a lathe it would be real easy to make a tool to screw into a reloading press to do the same thing. I was going to do that but my lathe is in a shop without heat and I could order the tool and use in my heated office to use it and needed to swap firing pins.

No screwing around!!! Long or short action.
Use with bolt disassembly tool and its super fast.

How does that work?

A vid would be better but basically thread firing pin in and install plunger to “j” slot. It takes longer to thread in the pin than it does to work the tool.
