Bolt Field Stripping.
« on: November 25, 2002, 03:06:41 AM »
I own Remington M700s and Winchester M70s, all stainless.  I have heard about "field stripping" the bolts and that they are easy.  I was thinking about doing this in order to assess whether they need to be cleaned.  

Is this a complex process or should I take it to a gunsmith to show me?  Saftey (and Reliability) is my #1 concern.

I think a M700 owners manual shows how to take the firing pin/spring assembly out of the bolt, but thats as far as I've been

Nate,

How often should you do this?  I know that there is no hard and fast rule, but I'm just wondering how often you disassemble it?

Thanks,
Zachary
