WTB Tikka Action Wrench

[gtriple]

I bought a Bugholes action wrench a couple of months ago, but have somehow misplaced it during my move. So now I'm looking for another. Any brand as long as it works.

if no one here has one available you can always go to ebay and buy one of the rear entry action wrenches for 75 bucks. ive put on 3 barrels so far with mine and have had no issues.

Have you taken off a stock barrel with it?

nop never taken one off using it. I use a wheeler #1 action wrench to take off barrels. i read somewhere that the factory barrels are too tight to be removed with the rear entry type of action wrench and may cause damage to the action.

I have a sac wrench and tikka head out on loan right now. If it makes it back before you find one I'll send it to you, just ship it back.

Good to know. I guess I gotta find a wheeler wrench too.

Copy. Definitely wouldn't pay to ship mine back and forth....

And yes, the bugholes wrench is great for torquing the new barrel but you'll want a vise and an outside wrench for barrel removal.

I have taken off factory barrels with the big holes wrench. I just the people soak the threads from inside the action in lube for a week, all came off quick than it took to get the barrel vise tight.

I used a wheeler #1 off Amazon for $70. No lube or soaking. It came off fairly easy. Not sure what others cost but I felt that was an inexpensive option.

If dudes above is same one for $40 that’s a solid deal!
