Im looking at doing this to my 2004 700 lss 30/06 mountain rifle and noticed gre tan offers two.
Also doni need to buy a tool?
Option 1-New! GTR Fluted Steel Firing Pin Assembly, Satin Black. We have the advantage of working on rifles every day, and knowing how to improve firing pin components, including how to manufacture them with the machines at our control. Made by Gre'-Tan in house, with newly installed Swiss CNC's. Not by just copying a blueprint or OEM part, for someone that just wants to sell you something. You already have that in the rifle you purchased.
First is the aluminum Bolt Shroud. This is made with 7075-T6. Again made in house on our Swiss CNC's. We have bolts from the 1940's to present and were able to adjust the threads, bushing collar and height of the shroud flats to give the best fit in the industry. On average, we are .010 larger in the areas to take out the sloppy fit. We have a better fit of the cocking piece and firing pin to the shroud. Then we have them Type III hard coat anodized. All to give the most durable and consistent firing pin travel, shot to shot.
Second is the Fluted Steel Firing Pin. Made from pre-hardened 4140 steel. Again made in house with newly installed Swiss CNC's. Unlike cheaper pins that are constructed from two joined parts, my pin is crafted from a single piece of steel, resulting in a more durable, fail-safe design. The weight saving flutes shortens the lock time. The tip contour has the tradition fracture point removed and a radius machined to prevent the tip breaking off. Additionally, the spring fit to the shank is the best on the market, resulting in zero rub on the inside of the bolt body. There are two reasons for the spiral flutes. First is to identify if you purchased a GTR, not a counterfeit knock off. The second is that the flutes are milled in the direction of the spring as it uncoils during release. As a final process, we surface burnish the pins in ceramic media to give a slick surface and to edge radius/de-burr from fluting. This allows the pin to slide with lower friction within the bolt shroud and spring. The x-pin hole is chamfered to help in assembly.
Option 2-GTR's NEW GEN II Lite steel Firing Pin Assembly; Satin Black. Comes with our Chrome Silica Spring. Featuring our new Thread Assembly System that prevents the uncontrolled discharge of the firearm. Our thread assembly joins in front of the spring collar. Along with a Radius Tip contour design so you can NOW Dry fire practice and set triggers with our pin. Others having the joint under the spring, the thinned shank wall can break and cause a uncontrolled discharge. We have the advantage of working on rifles every day, and knowing how to manufacture firing pin components, including how to improve them with the machines at our control. Made by Gre'-Tan in house, with newly installed Swiss CNC's. Not by just copying a blueprint or OEM part for someone that just wants to sell you something. You already have that in your rifle.
The new pin, now made with 7075-T6 Aluminum, Shank & Preheat treated 4140 Steel tip. This newly designed coupling of the tip and shank will not have an uncontrolled discharge because of the joint failing. Other tip contour designs have a fracture point. Ours has a radius machined to prevent the tip from breaking off. This is now the safest, strongest, most reliable and has the fastest lock time on the market. The shank has the best spring fit and a centering radius at the front collar to center the spring, and does not snake, keeping it from rubbing on the inside of the bolt body. The spring has a smaller outside diameter than the front collar. The x-pin hole is chamfered to help in assembly.
With GTR's new Aluminum Bolt Shroud, the bolt shroud is made with 7075-T6. Again, made in house on our Swiss CNC's. We have bolts from the 1940's to present and were able to adjust the threads, bushing collar and height of the shroud flats to give the best fit in the industry. On average, we are .010 larger in the areas to take out the sloppy fit. We have the best fit of the cocking piece and firing pin to the shroud. Then we have them Type III hard coat anodized.
