The j-lock is part of the shroud, so it comes off with it just like the other remington bolts. If you don't have a tool to do it, you can use a shoelace or I like to use a coat hanger. There is a video somewhere here of Lowlight showing how to field strip a bolt with a boot lace.

Re: Remington J lock removal No! Jul 12, 1 Telluride, CO. Re: Remington J lock removal After compresing the firing pin spring drive the pin out to the side and the pin can be replaced.

The ISS feature is one of many schemes developed by manufacturers to keep untrained, curious individuals from gaining unauthorized use of a functioning firearm. The ISS system is actuated by opening the bolt, putting the little green handled "J" shaped key into the bolt shroud lock and rotating it clockwise so that a white dot on the lock barrel is facing butt end of the gun.

This causes the little detent ball embedded in the face of the shroud to project and prevent the bolt from closing and locking. To render the bolt operable again, the J lock is rotated anti clockwise As I do with many things in life, I begin with the desired conclusion then back into the justification so I won't seem unreasonable. In the case of ISS removal, there were a number of salient points to support my case. The bolt shroud is enlarged to accommodate the parts, which gives the rifle a There are five moving parts, not counting the key, that are added in support of ISS; more parts to fail in an overly complicated little assembly.

A key is required to lock and unlock the ISS system. Personally, I always worry I am going to misplace the key and my rifle will be rendered useless.. Then there is that whole internal, bolt body rubbing distorted mainspring and heavy firing pin thing, as illustrated below. In summation, the ISS bolt shroud looks a bit funky and it is a source of potential breakage, loss and function anxiety.

Additionally, the heavy factory firing pin increases lock time and the heavy mainspring increases trigger resistance and bolt closing effort. Several non-ISS and ISS Remington bolts were disassembled and it was found that all ISS units had heavy coiled and long springs that were poorly supported at the firing pin tip end and wobbled and slewed from side to side and rubbed within the bolt body when assembled and in operation.

I like my springs neat and pointing generally in the correct directions so the factory part had to go. Brownells Remington Firing Pin Assembly is a factory drop in for a long action blued shroud bolt. Stainless and short action versions are also available. There are of course an number of high performance upgrade assemblies that can be installed just as easily as the factory part. Brownells , the David Tubb's SpeedLock System, in addition to removing the ISS feature, offers a lighter composite firing pin that cuts lock time in half and a reduced diameter mainspring that stacks straight, is fully supported at the spring seat and doesn't rub on the insides of a bolt body.

Why would I want to reduce lock speed? To cut the effects of my not inconsequential, standing position, over target wandering. The SpeedLock System's shroud is anodized black aluminum. The red anodized firing pin body is made of aluminum alloy, the firing pin tip is made of steel and the chrome silicon spring has a life of over , cycles and doesn't increase trigger pull or bolt closing effort.

Sadly, it looks better than most of my rifles. A few casings were primed and fired to assure there would not be a pierced or insufficiently upset primers. No problems were found. Then the rifle was loaded up and a dozen rounds fired to make sure everything actually worked with loaded ammo.

The end product is clean.
