Borrow Tikka action wrench + barrel vice near Helena MT

[_MountainBum]

Hey folks!

Just curious if anyone has a barrel vice and tikka action wrench I could possibly borrow somewhat close to Helena, MT or surrounding states. There is an awesome member offering on forums for uses to use his but just want to avoid him having to risk shipping them all the way to MT!

Very appreciative for anyone letting me use theirs! Usually use a smith but he has unfortunately been MIA.

I saw you want to avoid shipping but I thought there was a guy or 2 in the thread in MT.

Thread 'Tikka Barrel Removal and Install Tool Swap Thread'

May 22, 2023

Based on the discussion from the Semi-Custom Tikka thread, I want to offer up my tools that I'm no longer using to others to remove their factory barrels and install new ones.

Here's what I've got and the cost to replace:
Wheeler Action Wrench #1 - $80
PMA Gen II Barrel Vise - $90
Bugholes Tikka Internal Action Wrench - $100
Torque Wrench (up to 80 ft-lb) w/ bit - $50
Creedmoor Go Gauge - $50
Volquartsen Pistol Case - $30

Full cost to replace = $400

I think some others might be willing to include go/no-go gauges if needed. If there's other items that are needed, feel free to post below...

Thanks! Don’t mind shipping at all or even paying to use someone’s tools, just didn’t want the owner of the tools to risk shipping them clear across the country! I’ll post in the thread!
