Anyone care to offer direction on how to fully strip a post 64 model 70 bolt. It needs to be refinished. Thanks!

Easy..

Run bolt into receiver and with handle down. Place safety on half-step and remove bolt. Depress bolt-lock button and unscrew the shroud/firing pin from bolt body. (If this is a PF bolt, continue).. Place bolt body with face upwards in a padded vise. Use a thin wire or end of small paper clip to depress the plunger in the center of the extractor - hold down while slowly sliding it off. CONTROL that plunger/spring or you'll be searching for parts for an hour..

Next, place the bolt body horizontally in the vise with ejector upwards. Use a 1/16" punch to move it's retaining pin from R to L. USE YOUR THUMB to restrain the ejector when the pin's driven out or you'll again be looking for parts somewhere in the house..

The body is now stripped. If you need the shroud/FP disassembled, the first thing is to move the safety to the FIRE position. That will remove some of the tension on the FP srping. Most M70 shrouds have a screw placed on the outer rim of the shroud. Remove that screw - it's a FP retaining piece. Next, place the shroud on a flat surface with the firing pin aiming straight up. You'll need to hold down the mainspring enough to dislodge its keeper (a half-moon clip at the very end of the spring) along with the (rather unnecessary) ringed washer.. Once those clear the firing pin slot, the spring's tension can be slowly relieved and the spring removed. Then the FP moves backwards out of the shroud. There will be a very small pin that retains the safety lever. With the shroud back in the padded vise, use a very thin wire punch to push that pin inside, being careful to plug both ends so you won't be searching for THAT.. The safety lever can now be removed straight up - but also control its plunger and spring.

Last to remove is the lock button. Again, it's a very thin punch needed to move its retaining pin - from the back edge pushing towards the front. HOLD onto that button while doing so or it's the third part you'll be searching an hour for.. Remove the button and it's spring from the recess.. All parts are now stripped down.

Reverse order to replace..

Awesome. Thanks redneck.

We're lucky to have good gunsmiths and gunmakers who "donate" their time to answer questions here. That fine reply took a while to keyboard!

In my childhood, filled with a lot of interesting young Fun, will not help laughing sometimes question that all of us should ask. One thing that made me worry a new memory. I remember that during the last one year when Sunday morning, I was sitting comfortably on the sofa and watch television with relish. Inadvertently, I saw on television a chicken farm in the chicken, all kinds, colors, yellow, white, a very lovely. Small brain, the eyes turn round Liuliu stop, coupled with the hairy body, especially elicit people like. I felt I needed to have an idea of buying San Francisco Escort a handful of chick-let. Mom in the kitchen cooking, I went to my mother around grinning, and said : "Mother, father to father, I have bought a few chicks! Overtime, it will give you time to buy, ah? San Francisco Escorts "I have a lot of pouting and said :" I really hate! "You know they collapsed on the sofa again, a second time to have passed. Suddenly, I scare up, the refrigerator is not the egg? I think about while San Francisco Asian Escort talking to himself on, do it! Won two eggs through the refrigerator. "Hen hatching chicks depending on the temperature of the eggs were hatched to, if I were to the hatching, eggs are being squeezed easily broken. Of the usually like my mother always said that his father's body stove, the San Francisco Asian Escorts father's quilt is definitely hot. "I think that the father was an egg carefully into the yard, and patiently wait for the birth of her chicks.
Dad back, the storm will soon have to open their eyes, into a bedroom, opened quilts, sleeping only heard the father was not named soon, I immediately went past, and my father was out of paper shining his pants. I Wuzhuozui secretly smiled, and her mother came running over and down the back of the skull.
Dad angry and said : "Dzodzo, is not a good thing you do? "I will detail in the dark to tell the parents. We all laughed, and her mother rubbed my small brain : "dumb children, no eggs were hatched chicks! "My eyes what we sway. How interesting to me! It made me understand a profound truth : that people should not blindly do, but after careful thought, and action.
