Adding to our tools category of products to make cleaning, maintenance, and use of these rifles easier is a disassembly tool to aid in the takedown and cleaning of the bolt internal components. The inner section of this tool is molded to match the shape and sloped rear profile of the Thompson Center bolts. Just remove your bolt, place it rear-first into the tool, use the extended grip knobs to twist it counter-clockwise, then with the bolt still in the disassembly tool press the bolt and tool down against a solid surface to allow removal of the bolt handle. Now you can remove the bolt from the disassembly tool and pull the rear of the bolt, spring, and firing pin free of the bolt body for cleaning and maintenance.
Here’s a quick video showing the bolt takedown tool in use:
