Anyone know where I can buy a wrench to remove the breech plug for an Omega rifle? I cannot seem to locate mine....

I used a 1/4 ratchet and socket on mine. Easier than the factory wrench.

Agreed, ratchet and socket. Wildfowl, If I can find one of factory wrenches I can send it to you.

3/8 sockets may be too thick, but 1/4 drive sockets work fine and the ratchet has better leverage than the factory wrench.

Make sure you don’t smack the stock with the ratchet whenever it breaks loose

1/4 in. breaker bar and socket takes up less room than a ratchet. Harbor freight, Lowes, is your friend.

This, also saves the stock from ratchet head rash.
