Alright, finally going to get the tools to spin my own barrels on/off various tikka rifles I have. What are some of the better options out there?

A good thread.

Thread 'Factory Barrel Removal and Viper vice hack'

Mar 10, 2025

A barrel slipping is usually the weak link in pulling factory barrels, especially stubborn ones like Howa and Tikka.

I have found a few things make it simpler and possible on the most stubborn barrels. Do all of them and I bet the vast majority of barrels will come off. If you don’t get just one of them right, it can make it hard if not impossible.

I think they is why many people can’t get the same success with some of the same tools. It has taken me a few dozen barrels to figure stuff out.

Put Kroil inside the action in the corner where the barrel face and action meet. Give it time...
