A quick barrel change with an Accuracy International AW
I had flats on a recent TL3 build. Was using a torque wrench and crow’s foot.
Got tired of fighting with it being awkward and used the hammer method. Zero problems.
You can also put your stock in a vice with soft jaws, put an unmounted barrel vice on the barrel and smack the ears with a hammer.
Machinests and gunsmiths all over will cringe and I’m sure you could actually mess an action up doing it, but thus far haven’t had an issue or know anyone who has.
I couldn't watch it just the thought of an adjustable wrench and a rusty hammer being used on an AI is scary. I can't stand the use of adjustable wrenches on most things let alone a quality rifle barrel but I guess that's just the mechanic in me wanting to use the right tool for the job.
I'm sure it works well enough but so would a pipe wrench I guess.
"And when you do it this way, it's automatically zeroed at 100... No, I lied about that."
I think this being an AI helps. I'm not sure I'd do this with a traditional stock, but a chassis rifle would be fine. Maybe that's just me. I'd do it in a pinch if I had to, but as @XLR308 said, maybe it's just the mechanic in me that wants to use the right tools whenever they're available.
