Easy way to take off stubborn barrels.

[joshb]

A factory barrel is not reusable in my book and no provisions are made to save them in my shop

Now that’s a darn shame. Some of the Tikka factory barrels I’ve shot do pretty good. I’d love to have a few extra 22-250 barrels lying around.

I can assure you the tikkas are not usable. Every one has a parting cut

Does wheeler make a action wrench for the Tikka action

Your question made me go look. My memory stinks and it’s been a while. I dug through my wrenches and remembered. The 338 was a 695. The 223 was a 595. The 300 Win Mag and another 223 were t3 actions. I used the Wheeler #2 wrench on the older actions. I flipped the loose side of the Wheeler wrench over to the flat side facing the action and made a piece of aluminum to protect the circular lug projection. For the T3 actions, I used a wrench made by PBike .

For anyone interest in My vise, I am supposed to have 4 available by the 22nd, HOPEFULLY. LDS

A common ordinary cheap hack saw also may be used to make a relief cut. Tension tightens.

Surgeon like precision and caution applies.

Just don't miss. I have seen some ugly hack saw work.

Not sure on the Mosin, but it takes one or two smacks with a dead blow hammer to break a tikka action loose in my PBike vise and Brownells wrench. That aluminum vise holds the barrel so well I have never had a need for another.

Thanks I’ll look into that—I don’t like messing with all the bushings for my brownells barrel vise.

I see people selling some from time to time. I guess that and ebay proves one mans trash is another mans treasure

I think they’d be very useful to a guy that wants to practice threading and chambering.

Not really. They dont have enough shank left and impossible to dial in.

If you expect a tough removal job, this penetrating oil works better than anything you have tried, stubborn rusted bolts, barrels, just spray in the outside crack and inside threads...let soak over night

And were did u get this stuff

 

[AckleymanII]

Auto parts store, brother rebuilds front ends on trucks and cars, has to get off rusted on bolts. I tried it on removing barrels, unbelievable compared to a shelf full of other products I have.

On many Mosin-Nagant receivers, the action screw hole in the recoil block extends completely through the receiver exposing the barrel threads...if that's the case as a matter of routine I dump Kroil into that hole keep the action inverted overnight (refill with more Kroil as it works in) and they'll usually spin right off.
