M1 carbine bolt disassembly tool

[kdm]

The firing pin in my carbine is getting sticky...plus, lotsa gunk under the extractor. Anyone got a line on a bolt disassembly tool? Found one on Amazon for $99 bucks. That's retarded. Fulton Armory has them for ~$40, but making an account would get me in trouble with the wife (too much good stuff there). Who knows of a cheaper spot for one, that doesn't require an account?

Thanks, guys. Orlando...curse you!!! Now I'm gonna buy all kinds of stuff. Thanks for the link!

+1 to just drop it in a cup of mineral spirits overnight. If it is full of crud that plus compressed air will clean out most of it.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Found a 3 tool set on Ebay...has the bolt tool, spring tool and piston wrench. Unfortunately, Orlando's website was out of the bolt tools. Still lots of good stuff there, though...will be getting spares of various sorts.

Update...got the one on Ebay. Stripped the bolt today; boy, was it filthy! I'm handy and all, but having the proper tool always makes things soooo much easier. Way easy to launch stuff across the room without it.
