Im wondering how to remove the J lock in order to strip the bolt on a Remington 700.

Re: Remington 700 J lock removal

you can take it down just like any other bolt. The j-lock is part of the shroud, so it comes off with it just like the other remington bolts. If you don't have a tool to do it, you can use a shoelace or I like to use a coat hanger. There is a video somewhere here of Lowlight showing how to field strip a bolt with a boot lace.

No! what I mean is,how does the actual J lock come out of the shroud in order to change the firing pin.

After compresing the firing pin spring drive the pin out to the side and the pin can be replaced.

You can't, if you want a non J-Lock set up with new pin you need to replace the entire assembly.

All of the parts are different with the J-Lock assembly you can’t just replace the firing pin.

Those assemblies arent always drop in. Make sure firing pin protrusion isnt over .065". Or under 55.
While your at it you might look at an aluminum assembly.
