Just wondering what all is involved in replacing a j-lock bolt shroud on a M700 Remington? Thinking of installing one of these:

shroud

Curious as to if there would be any fitting needed and which of the following tools would be needed:

M700 tools

Thanks

I just got one from Brownells and put it in with no extra tools. A spring compressor might be nice if you were doing a bunch of them, but a vice or a set of vicegrips works just fine.

Thanks. I had thought about getting the little tool that slips over the end of the shroud and holds the cocking piece back thinking it would be nice to be able to take them apart for cleaning a little easier. If I decided to get that little tool, would that be the only one necessary for changing the shroud out?

you really want to change out the whole piece, including the firing pin and spring -- not just the shroud:

you could buy that $27 tool to do it, or stick a dime in the slot (that would only cost about $0.10 wink )

Now you're talking my language, 10 cents sounds good. Is it safe to assume the coin slot is on all of the assemblies? And which shroud/pin/spring assembly would you recommend?

Thanks again

I like the Gre-Tan unit here

Pacific tool & gauge makes a good one too

I took mine to my gunsmith and watched as he put a dime in the slot of the bolt to remove it. Took him all of about 1 minute (most).

The gre-tan (and probably most of the others) look like a major improvement over the others.

The gre-tan shroud is aluminum, so it will drop an ounce or two also.

I use the dime method also, takes nearly 2 minutes (1 minute to find a dime wink )

Replace the whole unit with a OEM assembly from Brownells (they are non J-lock of course). They are the best IMO. Trying to mess with faster lock times and etc. seem to make the rifle more finicky than not.

As far as the dime and penny trick, you guys are high dollar.

Just use a piece of a plastic zip tie. This way when you remove it, you wont nick or scuff the finish off the back edge of the shroud.

Plus 1 on the factory part from Brownells.
