Does anyone have an action wrench they want to sell? If not I'll order the bugholes one, it's for a Bighorn so the slot in the wrench isn't critical but kind of nice. Let me know if you have something you want to turn into cash. Thanks.
 
@kindabitey thanks for the suggestion. Do you know if the OTM wrench has a slot for the mechanical extractors? I can remove my extractor if need be, I was just curious.
 
No, it does not. I had to find mine to check.
 
You definitely want the slotted wrench so you can swap barrels without removing action from stock.
have you tried the factory Zermatt/bighorn wrench?Altus sells them or maybe brownells.
Or if you purchase a wrench without the slot, you can find someone with a mill and all they need to do is clamp the wrench lug and run a 3/8” end mill along the full length of the lug on the left side for it to slip past the ejector.
Short Action Customs might have a wrench also.
 
@lawrence97 removing from the stock doesn't bother me much but good point I hadn't thought about that option. I actually have a mill so could do that, or I like you're idea of getting the Zermatt one even better. Matter of fact I just ordered it direct from Zermatt. Thanks!
 
I use a t-handle wrench since I don’t torque my barrels to any specific ft-lb value other than tight enough.
