Anyone have experience with Brownells?

Sinclairs?

I think I like the Sinclairs version better but would be nice to hear if anyone has used either.

I already have the Kleinendorst firing pin tool so this would be nice addition to tool box for bolt work. This one works fantastic and easy to use. I will be changing out firing pin and spring as well.

I am tearing down bolt and like to remove ejector without having it explode all over bench area. Yep, friend STRONGLY recommends one after he called me up to see if I had one After he gave up looking for the spring.

Got me thinking, doing a Remage eventually so tearing down a 700 and need to remove the ejector to get best Go Gauage/No go feel off bolt. My Savage was easy but I have been convinced to buy one. So I can lend it!! Haha

I own both designs shown for fire pin and ejector removal. They do the job well.

Use a punch that'll fit thru the hole. Drive the pin out with it. Now, hold the nose of the bolt down, against the bench and remove the punch and ease the spring and plunger out. There, done.... No 'special' tool needed!

Have a flat head wood screw of correct diameter into the side of my bench at "belly" height. Sitting on my stool I depress the ejector with my stomach. Leaves both hands free to tap out the pin.
Relax my pressure and drop the parts safely into my hand. No undue spring pressure to fight tapping it in or out.
But I like the looks of the Sinclair.

OK, you guys just gave me an idea. I use a small ratchet wood clamp to remove locking bolts on my Encore and I think it will work fine to do same for ejectors. Clamp entire bolt, drive out pin, slowly release the clamp and should be easy to control spring etc. You can then set clamp to put spring and ejector back in held tightly by the clamp, put in pin and done.

Necessity truely is the Mother of invention. The gunsmith supply houses will gladly sell you all the tools you really don't need to do the job. MNbogboys' flat headed wood screw looks like a viable option for dis-assembly/re-assembly for those who don't already have a 'system' they are comfortable with. K.I.S.S. "keep it simple stupid"

So true plus when you are retired, $$$$ drives the thought process even harder. I keep a couple ratchet clamps in basement but I see I need to move them to my gun bench to be front and center!

OK, took all of maybe 30 seconds to remove ejector using a wood ratchet clamp. Released the clamp slowly and ejector and spring just sat there not undeer any tension since it was released slowly. Nothing to look on the floor for!
