Guys, Have the pieces for the action wrench done. Just need to bore the hole in the bottom and make a handle. Have a 36" piece of 1" 1018 in the bin. I would think that's thick enough. How about a reasonable length. Thinkin' 24" is a good size for most use and storage. That be OK? Thanks! Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ...

I use Brownells wrench and most barrels will come off ok with it as-is. For those that don't I have a 3 ft cheater pipe that I slip over the handle. A short handle will keep you from inadvertantly over tightening barrels. I like to tighten them snug but not tight. Aut vincere aut mori | |||

Mike, How long is the handle on the Brownell's wrench? I did find a note in their instructions that the handle is 1.250" in diameter. Thanks! Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ... Knifemaker, http://www.mstarling.com | |||

Mike, It's 10.5" but a foot wouldn't be bad. Aut vincere aut mori | |||

Lee Six has an action wrench with two opposing 5 foot handles for the tough ones. The only easy day is yesterday! | |||

FWIW, it you have a 24" bar, a pull scale will make it a torque wrench with reasonably repeatable results. With a 24" bar, the scale reading will roughly equal twice the actual torque in FtLbs applied at the threads. Mike Ryan Mike Ryan - Gunsmith | |||
