[QUOTE="bomberodevil, post: 2092212, member: 23175"] Hi all, I recently inherited my father’s 1952 Remington 721, in .270. I actually did some load development and it’s shooting Nosler BT 140 gn sub .500 moa. My goal is to have my grandkids, his great-grandkids, use this for their deer rifle. Although it shoots fine, I thought I would put a new spring in the bolt, being the original is 70 years old. I bought the spring from Brownell’s, and watched some videos on how to replace the spring. The steps look fairly easy but I can’t get the pin out. I haven’t used a lot of hammer force but it certainly isn’t just tapping out. Any thoughts before I turn to an expert? Thanks in advance!
