Remington 513-T / 521-T bolt disassembly and shim install to correct headspace. Yes, it came out as vertical video. Deal with it. All the info is still there....

Function test follow-up: Tested with 10 rounds each of CCI SV, CCI Blazer, CCI MiniMag, Federal Automatch, Federal Bulk, Remington Golden Bullet, Winchester Bulk, and Aguila High Velocity. 100% fired. Firing pin impression is very deep.

Great video!!! While a little long, it actually includes the little hiccups that are experienced when you undertake something like a bolt disassembly. Patience is truly a virtue when you’re working on firearms.

I am 2nd generation to this rifle. Getting ready to do this for cleaning. Awesome video THANK YOU! It will soon be passed off to my 7 year old

Thx Gramps. A very detailed and comprehensive and fully nerded out video.

Have a 521-T that belonged to my father. He gave it to me many years ago. It had not been used in years and I had a similar problem. The bolt just needed to be taken apart and cleaned. It had gotten gunned up inside. It has been a good shooter ever since. Small tip, de-cock it in the stock. It will make taking the pin out easier.

Hello I just got a 521 t from my great grandfather and am not very experienced with cleaning guns, what chemicals did you use when you where using the toothebrush?

Hi, my name is Martin, I'm from Uruguay (South America) 1 week ago I bought a Remington 513T rifle in very good condition, but I realized that the charger is dirty and possibly the spring is not completely right, but since I am new to the issue of weapons, I do not realize how to disassemble the charger. Could you explain to me (or at best make a short video) how to do it.

Why leave the bolt cocked when removing the pin?

Scrubby, scrubby, wipey, wipey...
