And it only took me an hour an a half to figger it out.

Hey Jim, the action wrench I built is alot bigger and uglyer than yours!!LOL

It looks like a blacksmith shop.
But the photo came thru OK.

can you post a pic of your action wrench? I have been using a connecting rod form a 307 Pontiac, but I am going to make a new wrench. I do want to still use my aluminum bushings I have made for different actions and am trying to figure out how to best make a new wrench.

Thanks!

Ya' know,

If I had one of those in the correct size for my kids' necks, I would have done a better job of parenting.....

Been at this for a couple of hours already and don't know if this will come out or not. As requested, pictures of my action Wrench.

going to try a smaller pix

Is the reaction to the torque through bolts in the floor?

Nice wrench Jim...but the pic is big....try this.....

thanks for posting the close ups! I now have an idea of how I am going to make my new wrench

I could not figure out how to reduce the pixel size; I think I have it now. Just waiting for the 325 WSM MRC barreled action to come back from the engraver to post a picture or three on that one.

The action gurd screw hole anchors the part while aligning the recoil lug in the correct position. I use an 18" piece of black iron pipe for my torque application.

It looks like photobucket deleted my original image of the barrel vise. Is that the way they do these things?

I've never lost one. Some have been there a real long time. If you do anything that changes the address the connection will drop.

Jim go to this site IRFANVIEW

This is from photobucket. I trust I am not wasting your time;it only took me another 1 1/2 hrs to get this far. Sheesh what a dummy.

Got so damn frustrated and then downright giddy when I got it to work that I posted it on the wrong forum.

This barrel vise has served me well for several years. Notice the "nut" is very tall for a lot of thread engagement. Also the threads are buttress type. I keep everything well greased with anti sieze compound.
