Missedbycracky , has removed barrels from the 99 and I was looking to see what kind of a reciever wrench he uses to do the job. I don't think a big crecent wrench or a big spanner is a good idea. I made my own 1903 Sringfield reciever wrench from the blueprints in Bophry's book but not sure what smiths are using on the 99 Savage.
