Bruce, it's the same tool, I forget the name brand,
I have the one from Brownells. The only caution
from CF to RF, is with RF you have to hold down
the little bar tighter to the cocking piece so it don't
slip off. thanks, douglas

 

KLEINENDORST - Brownells 40X bolt disassembly tool

Douglas,
Is the called "KLEINENDORST"? If it is, I'll get it. Funny, I spoke with someone at Brownells who said it wouldn't work, but if you say it will for the 40X rimfire I'll try it.
Thanks for responding - let me know if that's the name.
Bruce

 

This one works on any 700 series bolt - 700,721,722 ,40X

 

Bolt

Thats the Kleinendorst Pictured best tool going but will only get the job 1/2 done. If you want to get to the spring you need another tool (spring compressor ). I used to make them for smallbore only. If you want to borrow one and I can find it let me know.

The Kleinendorst will work on either RF or CF.

Douglas,
I will order the Kleinendorst tool.

Brian,
Yes I would like to borrow your spring compressor - maybe I could copy it (with your permission, of course). I promise to return it to you.

Both Douglas & Brian,
I recently purchased a Rem. 40X action on a gun set up for benchrest shooting. It has a benchrest stock, Shilen barrel, etc. Just got it back from the gunsmith because the bolt was sticking very badly when trying to extract a shell. He polished the chamber and now it is OK. The Leupold 40X Competition scope that I ordered should be here on Tuesday and I can't wait to try it out - hope the weather here in Colorado at 8,600 feet cooperates.

Again thanks to both of you for your replies.

Bruce, yeah that's it klienhurst, one of my best tool purchases.
thanks, douglas
PS: be careful you don't get the bolt body twisted,
could bend firing pin if you ain't careful.
