if you are real handy you can make one using the pics.

Yeah it isn't something you do just to get out of doing the dishes.

By the looks of that rifle that you have, it is in very good condition. My advise is to remove the forearm. Separate the barrel assembly from the reciever. Now seperated, you can grab ahold of the breech end of the barrel and pull it. (Compressing the spring). Put a little oil down outside the barrel from the breech end, and hand cycle a bit to get oil on the spring. Let it sit a bit muzzle down to let some oil flow. Put a little oil on bolt and other points in reciever. Call it good. It's easy to bugger up these rifles by taking them apart. Only good reason to do so, is when a spring or something is obviously broken, or it has been hunted in the rain. It's your rifle, your choice.

I've already stripped all but the barrel assembly and gave it a good cleaning.
I'd rather disassemble, clean and lube the barrel assembly than just hope it's ok.
It wasn't the hardest rifle to put back together, and the barrel tutorial videos seem similar.
The takedown tool is attached to the barrel. I had one of these in .300 Savage. Considering the very coarse front sight, my rifle was quite accurate with cast and jacketed bullets, even if one empty out of five would strike in the forehead area.
There was an Anvil video on this recently. I'll put it in below. It's somewhere in the later section of the video. Anyways basically what is shown is that you can use a flat sheet of metal to turn the nut in the front of the barrel jacket when you pull the barrel itsself back. Always thought the Model 8 was a really great design. I wonder if it could be accurized with one of these O Rings like H&K uses in the Mark 23.
Original barrel nut wrenches are rare. Someone was making repro ones up to 5 years ago. Was $50 , Looks sort of like a winchoke wrench. Also someone was making a wrench that is circular, with nubs on it to fit onto the nut. Have to use a die holder from a tap and die set to hold this one. This one pops up on ebay from time to time at $62.
