This was a much better video than the others I have seen. Thank you. One tip: the bolt handle can also be used to compress the firing pin assembly to get the firing pin tool back in place. Thanks for the great video tutorial!
Outstanding video and demonstration. Straight to the point without useless narrative. Best video I've seen to date for disassembling/reassembling the bolt. The owner's manual is useless. I struggled for quite awhile until I found this video and I got my bolt reassembled in just minutes.
Outstanding! A client of ours showed up with his bolt disassemble… without your video his day with us would have been ruined. He came from six hours away, so getting the bolt back together on the range made a huge difference for him and for us. And… we learned something too!👍😎 thanks so much!
Thank you, this video has been invaluable to me. I’ve used it twice on my RPR magnum to recover from the firing pin getting turned the wrong way, and also to swap the firing pin and bolt shroud. You really focused on getting the parts in the right configuration and it helped me a ton.
Well that was a life saver. I was watching another "instruction video" that got me as far as installing the tool and it just popped out of it's position, collapsing the spring and taking a bite out of my index finger.....Now what do I do? your close up video of re-installing the tool showed me what to do! Thanks a lot I have subscribed, liked and will bookmark this video. Much appreciated.
Thank you SOOOO much. This video saved me today. I was installing an Anarchy bolt shroud, and the firing pin tool popped out when I was putting it back together and I had NO IDEA how to get the spring opened back up until I watched. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
Thank you for the video. Am also an owner of an RPR in 223/556. I have subscribed and will certainly be referring to your video when disassembling my bolt for cleaning. One recommendation. I found the plastic tool supplied by Ruger to be flimsy. So I purchased a metal version from Brownells. LRI is the manufacturer. On Brownells website, search for: 100-025-313WB Fire Control Disassembly Tool for the Ruger RPR
Great video. When installing a custom bolt handle & fluted shroud, I let the firing pin assembly take-down tool slip and it locked down in the fired position. I was checking on youtube how to re-cock the assembly to insert the take-down tool. This video by far explained the easiest way to do it. I was then able to easily install the new bolt, re-cock the pin assembly and reinstall the new shroud. Two thumbs up!
THANKS!!!! I know this is an old video, but anyway, thanks thanks thanks, I disarmed my bolt... the tool is made in plastic... it broken... but thanks to you I can reassembly my bolt!!!!!
Thanks so much. I dropped my bolt, and it landed RIGHT ON that little ear on the silver piece. SNAP! Of course a "send it back to us" part, but I sweet talked the nice lady and she shipped me the part. Was a 10 min fix, other than having to take about .002" off the punch from HF. I am sure I will order a Billet one . This made it super easy...
Thank you! Dident have the tool for my american bolt, which is basically identical except the shroud. The spring pull the shoe down and have been trying to figure out how to get it uncompressed. Thanks!
The size isn't really important as long as it is a little smaller than the size of the pin/hole. You're not actually removing a press fit pin, it is held in by tension of the spring.
I don't recall exactly what size the punch is. It is probably 1/16 inch. Just pick one big enough to not pass through the roll pin center and small enough to pass through the hole in the bolt. 5
I didn’t know either so I did it myself. What I did was got a piece of rubber (like a jar opening pad or small piece of mouse pad neoprene) and gripped the cocking piece. I then rotated it up the ramp and back over the ledge again. And repeated until it was back up. You have to do it twice or the cocking piece will be 180 degrees off. It wasn’t too hard to good. You just need a good grip.
OK, Sharp eye, you got me,.....you are right. Is that a part you generally disassemble when cleaning your bolt? Even after many sessions that is a part I don't take apart unless there is a problem or I am doing a top to bottom detail clean and polish. What about you?
they have nice gun but should avoid buying anything from Ruger if you care about having spare part so you don't have to depend on them for repairing because they don't sell every part you may need, that mean if the firearms you have get banned or if government make mandatory registration your screw and will have no way to repair . Another reason imagine having to send back you rifle to Ruger and having to spend 300$ In shipping and work to change a 50$ part that what happened to many people who bought from Ruger because Ruger refused to sell them spare part. People should avoid buying things from corporation who want you to depend on them for repair .
False advertising you did NOT install the bolt back in the action of the gun. I have a rimfire and the bolt will not go back in. I think because the trigger was pulled while the bolt was out . I'm looking for an easy way to reset the trigger without taking the action out of the stock. Reply back if you know a way . Thanks
I checked both my Ruger American Rimfire and Precision Rimfire rifles and neither will drop the striker when the bolt is removed so I don't know what issue you have going on. I pulled the bolt, attempted to pull the trigger which would no fall and then reinserted the bolt and cycled it 2 times on each of my Rimfires. Good luck with your issue.
On the outside chance you didn't mean "rimfire" I checked my center fire Precision Rifle (.223) and it works the same. The trigger will NOT operate if the bolt is removed. Again, good luck with your rifle.
Is your bolt still Factory assembled or has it been taken apart before? If it is "that hard" to punch the pin out then the slot it sits in must be out of line with the hole slightly. The best suggestion I can give is to try twisting the parts to relieve some pressure or apply pressure one way or the other as you try to punch out the pin?
Thank you for focusing the camera on the bolt and not a bench in the background so we can actually see what you're doing.
Love this tutorial...easily the best and most detailed explanation I have come across so far.
This was a much better video than the others I have seen. Thank you. One tip: the bolt handle can also be used to compress the firing pin assembly to get the firing pin tool back in place. Thanks for the great video tutorial!

Clear, concise, all operations visible on camera. No needless discussion. Why can’t all videos be like this?👍👍
Outstanding! A client of ours showed up with his bolt disassemble… without your video his day with us would have been ruined. He came from six hours away, so getting the bolt back together on the range made a huge difference for him and for us. And… we learned something too!👍😎 thanks so much!
This is by far the most useful video regarding the RPR bolt. Great work!
Thank you, this video has been invaluable to me. I’ve used it twice on my RPR magnum to recover from the firing pin getting turned the wrong way, and also to swap the firing pin and bolt shroud. You really focused on getting the parts in the right configuration and it helped me a ton.
Very useful. So many specific steps in this. Thanks for helping me do this myself
this is most efficient tutorial over all, I ordered a Billet replacement part, now I know how to execute, many thanks
Thankyou!! This video is extremely helpful. Clear and concise.Great job.
Close up. Step by step in HD. What else could you ask for? Well done!
You made this look very easy. Great video for all the RPR owners.
You're a lifesaver, thanks for doing such a detailed job!
Excellent step by step description.
Awesome vid! Thank You for a detailed breakdown!
Excellent video - really helpful! Thank you, Sir!

Thanks a lot I have subscribed, liked and will bookmark this video. Much appreciated.
Thank you! I popped the tool out of my firing pin assembly and wasn't sure how to put it together without ruining the pin.
This helped me out more than you know, and probably saved me $60. THANKS!!!
Thank you SOOOO much. This video saved me today. I was installing an Anarchy bolt shroud, and the firing pin tool popped out when I was putting it back together and I had NO IDEA how to get the spring opened back up until I watched. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
Thank you for this clear explanation!
One word ....excellent.
A "complete" disassembly and reassembly would include the ejector and extractor.
Always someone complaining lol...
Thank you so much!! Took it apart then I was screwed. Thanks to your video I got it back together

Thank you for a brilliant, informative, and clear video...
Much appreciated, from a RPR .308 shooter, in the UK.

Very good, My Gen. 1 rifles bolt (plastic shroud) is back together thanks to this video. I learned a few things and now I know what the problem was.
Thanks so much. I dropped my bolt, and it landed RIGHT ON that little ear on the silver piece. SNAP! Of course a "send it back to us" part, but I sweet talked the nice lady and she shipped me the part. Was a 10 min fix, other than having to take about .002" off the punch from HF.

Glad it helped. Believe it or not I actually watched it tonight to remind myself the procedure before I disassembled mine after a long time since.
I like the video, I was a little disappointed that you didn't remove the extractor. I need to headspace a new barrel and I'm not sure how to do that.
Thanks for the tips. I wasn't able to get mine together properly. Now it is.
Nicely done!
Great video man, it has helped tremendously!
Great video - Thank you !
Good video! Thanks for the tip on the crescent wrench.
Thanks for using our Hammerhead bolt knob!
Thank you so much. But that damn roll pin, what a pain. Luckily I was replacing that piece anyway. Thanks again for such a clear and simple video.
Great video 👍
Thanks for sharing
Great video, thank you for posting !!
this video is really help me
Awesome video, cheers.
Thanks for making this video...
excellent video...helped me very much.
Hey! Thanks for the video man!
Thank you! Dident have the tool for my american bolt, which is basically identical except the shroud. The spring pull the shoe down and have been trying to figure out how to get it uncompressed. Thanks!
Very helpfull. Thank you very much 👍😎
thank you sooooo much !!!
Great video!
U just saved my day!!!!!!
Well done. Thanks.
Thanks, nice job
Dude, thank you so much!!!
this thing is a nightmare. to reassemble without that spring tool. Thanks for your detailed video.. lol
what if you trimmed 2 or 3 coils off the OEM spring?
This video saved my bacon.
I did not even fully disassemble, I simply need to recock the firing pin so that I can put the tool in, however the springs will not compress
Thank you for posting this great vid. What size punch does it require for the roll pin?
The size isn't really important as long as it is a little smaller than the size of the pin/hole. You're not actually removing a press fit pin, it is held in by tension of the spring.
What size Roll pin goes in the firing pin assembly, the one you tapped into the modified white paint can cap?
Any info in replacing the extractor? Can’t find a video anywhere on this. Thank you sir!
Extractor and ejector in the bolt face ?
Im curious, what size roll pin are you using in the firing pin assembly to prevent the pin from backing out?
I don't recall exactly what size the punch is. It is probably 1/16 inch. Just pick one big enough to not pass through the roll pin center and small enough to pass through the hole in the bolt. 5
Actually I meant the roll pin itself, not the punch tool.
Is it the exact same for the ruger precision magnum?
I fell off the edge and went too far. How do I get it back where it should be?
I didn’t know either so I did it myself. What I did was got a piece of rubber (like a jar opening pad or small piece of mouse pad neoprene) and gripped the cocking piece. I then rotated it up the ramp and back over the ledge again. And repeated until it was back up. You have to do it twice or the cocking piece will be 180 degrees off.
It wasn’t too hard to good. You just need a good grip.
Bought a 2nd hand ruger rpr 5.56 and it get stuck at time partially from the safe even though its on fire
Go figure, mine was missing the roll pin from the factory...
It helped. It convinced me never to buy a Ruger Precision rifle. Who designed this piece of junk?
It is a hell of a rifle! The break down and reassemble is not bad if you have any motor skills.
Im going to replace with a Billet cocking piece, so this will be handy
Thats not a complete disassembly of the bolt, you forlot the ejector in front .
OK, Sharp eye, you got me,.....you are right. Is that a part you generally disassemble when cleaning your bolt? Even after many sessions that is a part I don't take apart unless there is a problem or I am doing a top to bottom detail clean and polish. What about you?

Try doing this with a Ruger American. Trust me, you will lose your mind unless you buy the tool from Anarchy.
Partial Disassembly and Reassembly
False advertising you did NOT install the bolt back in the action of the gun. I have a rimfire and the bolt will not go back in. I think because the trigger was pulled while the bolt was out . I'm looking for an easy way to reset the trigger without taking the action out of the stock. Reply back if you know a way . Thanks
I will check it out tonight and get back to you. It should be an easy fix.
I checked both my Ruger American Rimfire and Precision Rimfire rifles and neither will drop the striker when the bolt is removed so I don't know what issue you have going on. I pulled the bolt, attempted to pull the trigger which would no fall and then reinserted the bolt and cycled it 2 times on each of my Rimfires. Good luck with your issue.

I turned the shroud too far. 😅
Dude… my pin will not come out no matter what I do

You didn't even mention how to take the bolt out. WTF.
