Where can I get a spanner wrench for a Talley Crossbolt or a driver for a screwdriver?

You had me scratching my head!

He is looking for a spanner wrench for a Talley cross bolt as you would fit at the recoil lug of a big bore stock.

I have never seen a spanner that is made for the talley cross bolt. I would think it would be pretty easy to make one by drilling a piece of flat iron and pressing two pins in. I say that it would be easy, but I have two talley cross bolts that I have never used because I can't find a spanner to fit them.....

Send me one of the cross bolts and I will make you one out of a 3/8 bolt. Pretty simple to do, just measure the center distance of the holes, the diameter, and go to it.

Just shows I can read reading but not read writing! Sorry...Talley bases were on my mind I guess.

I made an effetive spanner using one of the heads and soldering in two pins after welding a shaft to form something like a screwdriver

CORRECTION:
That is a #47 NOT a #41.

Those are for the Mauser military cross bolt. I am pretty sure they won't work on a Talley cross bolt as the Talley is shorter CTC IIRC.

Thanks. I have the big Wheeler set and the mauser bit does not fit. Is there another size?

McMaster-Carr has bits you can buy. I would suspect that Grainger. Lawson, & MSC can get them for you too.

Thanks, never knew that but you're right according to the specs in the site the talley is .010" smaller. Maybe that is why I just ground the middle out of a screw driver when I had to remove one years ago.
