Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing So this is how you remove a barrel?

Spud, most bench rest rifles are glued in.

Foogle, Most bench rest rifles do not utilize recoil lugs. Especially those that are glued in the stock.

That does appear to be a long range BR rifle outfit.

Might work well for a rifle/barrel combination that had been taken apart and reassembled a few times.

I seriously doubt that it'd work removing a factory barrel from one of the newer Remington's. They can be a real Biatch.

You mean he is killing us

That's not what they are meant for. -Al

Common problem these days, people insisting on using the wrong tool for the job at hand.

You've got barrel vises and action wrenches meant for removing the barrels off of 100 year old milsurps and factory rifles. Then you have those intended for use on bench rest or switch barrel types rifles.

Yup!

Agreed - but someone would surely try !

The problem with the gene pool is there aren't any life guards. -Al

Actually an inserted action wrench works really well for removing factory barrels
A clamping wrench exerts pressure in the threaded junction and makes it tighter

For factory stuff, a well thought out straight insert wrench does work well. The one I use has a 1" nut on the end with bushings that slide over the shaft and locate in the rear bolt raceway.

I've seen more than a few receivers destroyed by people using wrong tools. -Al
