M14 bolt assembly.

[NF1E]

UPS dropped of a new bolt and op rod for an M14 build. Putting the bolt together makes if feel so real theses days.

Bolts come stripped and need to have the roller and clip installed along with the firing pin, extractor,extractor spring, extractor plunger, ejector spring and ejector plunger. Used to use the conventional clip compressor pliers until I made up my own as in photos. My preference is the one made up from a locking hemostat. Nice thing about this creation is that you can lock the clip in place and have a free hand to use a hammer to put the roller in place. There we are, assembled and greased in a few minutes, ready to go. Whatta Hobby!
