Weatherby action wrench Needed

[4xforfun]

Been doing a little research. I have a couple friends with Accumark MK V's (30-378's) that had 338 Lapua tubes chambered up and installed. Plan was to be able to screw on the older tubes since they were low round count tubes. New tubes were installed last fall with never seize, so they should turn easily. Trouble is I can't find anyone who makes/sells an action wrench. I called Weatherby.....no joy.

Anyone have any Ideas?

Thanks,
Tod

The bottom is flat. Do it like a Mauser. Use a large Crescent Wrench on the front receiver ring With an aluminum shim to protect the finish.

Check with @Uthink Uknow
Not sure he still does them but it's how I got my Weatherby action wrench.
Not sure mine would fit that big action.

Same wrench as a Model 70. Flat bottom, 1.375 radius on the top. Don't tighten it up too much. If using a Mauser wrench, use a shim under the top to fill the radius. The Crescent wrench system can work if the barrel isn't too tight but be careful. WH
