Gunsmithing action wrench

[gau17]

Any had and experience using Davidson Action Wrenches? I wanted the ability to change out my barrel w/o having to remove the scope

Re: action wrench

Benchrest boys have been using Davidson wrenches for years. Mgf from aluminum so they can't hurt a action or barrel.

I really like the Surgeon action wrench for in-the-action style. I wouldn't recommend its use for factory barrel removal, but for a switch barrel change out, it would be my first choice

I found one made by Darrel Holland that I'm going to use. Thank Ossie!

Dave- I looked at the Surgeon one but I don't think it will work with LH action.

Ah yes, I think that is correct.

I have a bent surgeon wrench that says you are right!


None of the inside wrenches are strong enough to pop apart factory guns.
Once the gun is trued and rebarreled, they tend to be easier to pop apart and the inside-the-lug raceway wrenches work fine.
Benchrest barrels tend to get installed at lower torque than we typically build tactical guns though.

Thanks guys. I'm planning on using it for a switch barrel I'm having built.
