A cheap solution to disassemble a Savage barrel.

Not everyone lives in the Lower 48, with free, fast shipping.
That $34 at Midway would be doubled before it got to me.... oh wait, Midway won't ship outside the US.
Not to mention having to wait several weeks before it arrives.

How about Brownells? It's $5 cheaper there.

How expensive are Savage prefit barrels in Canada? A quick search found barrel prices are about double what they are in the US too. If you want to modify a cheap box end wrench and trust it to work on something that expensive, please do.

The idea was not originally mine. I just updated a suggestion made decades ago by no one less that Frank de Haas in his masterwork "Bolt Action Rifles".
I've never been too much into drilling and tapping, therefore I chose an alternative that would still use 4 points of contact.
Instead of a 30mm wrench, I could have used a 29mm one for an even better contact but it would have required twice more time to correctly file the "teeth".
Not worth the trouble.
