Abstract
Provided is a two part milling and running tool, a well system, and a method. The two part milling and running tool, in one aspect, includes a conveyance, a smaller assembly coupled to an end of the conveyance, and a larger bit assembly slidably coupled to the conveyance, the smaller assembly and larger bit assembly configured to slidingly engage one another downhole to form a combined bit assembly, the larger bit assembly having a body lock ring in an interior thereof, the body lock ring configured to allow the smaller assembly to slide toward the larger bit assembly but prevent the smaller assembly from sliding away from the larger bit assembly.
