Remington 722 firing pin spring removal,removing the cross pin?

[Hunter2678]

So Im wanting to replace the original firing pin spring on my 722 action, however the cross pin doesn't have a hole on the other side of the firing pin head...will this still come out? Help please?

Go to Sinclair intl. site and search: Remington bolt maint. kit. The product video may help explain the process for you. Plenty of Vid's on youtube also

Looks like the other side is polished so well that I overlooked the fact that it is possible to punch out the pin after all.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Glad you got the problem resolved.

This^^ Use a short punch and it will probably take a few good whacks before it starts to move.

Sometimes they're stuck pretty good and they like to roll. You have hit those harder than you might think..
