I don’t get the tikka issue. I’ve always had Howa’s for builds and they are like a Lego set when it comes to tearing the actions down. I’m building a tikka now and debating just getting a ja outdoors action instead of dealing with pulling a barrel. Has anyone damaged the action by using an action wrench? I’ve always used a wheeler #2 for my action removals.

My example of one.. kinda gives me the vibe that guys either had a light shitty table to mount to. Or too short of a handle on the wrench.

That’s what I use to remove factory barrels. They aren’t that bad as long as you have a good grip with the barrel vice. I like to get it all ready, then put the barreled action in the freezer overnight. Pull it out, get it in the vice, propane torch on the action over the tenon for a few seconds, then give the action wrench a rap with a 2# hammer. They pop loose pretty easy that way.
