Defiance Deviant Tactical. .308 bolt. I'm checking headspace and need to remove ejector. Anybody know what size/style punch I need to use? Roll-pin punch or standard flat-face punch? And is the process just depressing ejector plunger and driving out the pin? Will a typical Rem 700 ejector removal tool work on a Defiance? Something like this? https://www.sinclairintl.com/aspx/search/productdetail.aspx?pid=34592&sku=22-550
 
Yes, that Sinclair tool will work. I used one to disassemble my bolt before checking headspace. I'm not sure what size punch to use on the roll pin. Call Defiance and ask them, I'm sure they will help you out.

Thanks, I just bought a complete punch set. Figured it'd be good to have.
 
That's the greatest tool, since sliced bread, LOL, use a 1/16 & you should be good to go.
