Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Post 64 M70 Firing pin spring replacement tool

I made one out of a heavy washer. Took a bit to make the groove around the slot, but is works great otherwise.

Would someone be kind enough to post emailed pics of (2) recently acquired Winchester Factory Assembler Bench Tools used in the late 40’s/early 50’s and two pages of AA Arnold drawings showing how these tools were used in the assembly of M70’s
pm your email and they’ll be on the way….TY

Bench fixture for removal/installation of pre64 firing pin spring gifted by a very good friend a while ago. All that’s required to make one is some bar stock, a vertical mill and the know how to use the mill. WAY above my pay grade.

Actually, the firing pin spring tool and pliers modified for extractor collars are the only specialized tools/fixtures needed to assemble a pre64 M70. Additionally, one would need a brace/bit(s), a couple quality screw drivers, 1/16th” and 1/8th” drifts, hammer and a good padded vise. Anyone with a bit of patience and a little mechanical ability can do it.

Thanks AK

Absolutely!

This is good stuff.

Is this one Aluminum?

Steel

Thank You. Fooled me.

BTDT.

Great minds and all that….
