Tikka Barrel Removal and Install Tool Swap Thread

[Bluumoon]

Most are, yes. Some have snapped the internal ones trying to remove actions with them the first time. Subsequent barrels I'd be inclined to try the internal first and if stubborn switch to the external. Internal to install allows for easy use of a torque wrench.

I wouldn’t… snapped a OMR internal wrench on a torque wrench set at 115ft/lbs. OMR said tough luck.

I wouldn't personally try to exceed 100ftlb with one, if it doesn't budge switch to the external.

You figure they would work with you when you told them it was on a torque wrench and not a breaker bar.

They are telling everyone to buy theirs over others because it is so strong.

I think your rationale was sound to work up to 115 and see what happens and then order a Wheeler #1 only if you had to.

I have the same internal wrench but got the wheeler right off the rip and got longer bolts to flip it around. We've removed 5 factory tikka barrels so far and had to wail and whack on 2 of them.
