Looking for a reciever wrench for a NO4 MK1/MK2 reciever will be looking for one for a Savage 99 & a SAFN 49 rifles later on.
I'm in B.C.looking in my area mostly but out east also priced with in reason.
Any help would be great can get em off evil bay but want to try local first.

Regards
 
I have been thinking about just that there is a water jet maching in my area but not cheap to get done the rest i can do myself or find a plasma cutter that will cut a 1.5 inch thick bar stock as a lic.tech yes i have been thinking about just that doing it myself.

Regards

I would advise against using a vice ,they brake easy. unless you have a plumbers vice. oak blocks and rosin work well when clamped well.
 
This is the vise I use below I don't think it will break any time soon. What I am looking for is a receiver wrench to remove the receiver from the barrel like the one below second picture I may make my own but if I find one it would be better.

You fellows should check out Gunrunner8.

He makes up very similar bench vices as maxinumarmor is so pleased with and will make up any bushings to your specs as well.

He also makes up a very nice internal wrench that you can use with a Johnson Bar/7/8in socket. It works very well.

I have been using external wrences for years, drilled and machined to shape then weld on handles and line with brass shim stock so that I don't marke a receiver ring.

Roman convinced me to try one of his internal wrenches and they work perfectly.

Have a look on the EE, he has pics of his wares. They are strong as can be and extremely well made. They also fit most actions. So far, I've used it on Remingtons, Winchesters and Mausers. No fuss, no mess and above all, no galls.

Gunrunner8, is in Kamloops so shipping should be reasonable.
 
From a guy out of Oakdale, California, United States i'm going to wait until I get it and try it out then post a review with the details there is another one for $84US but shipping it high due to the length of it, it has a handle welded on out of Madras, Oregon, United States $49US shipping.
Will let you know.

Yes I have removed many by other means now I wanted the right tool to do it I have read the reviews but am yet to try this tool myself there are some barrels that don't come off willingly but they do come off the LEE ENFIELD rifle has been in my family for years I know them well.

Cheers

You have never taken one of these barrels off I take it, these tools in your picture may be OK to install these barrels, but, they will never remove one of these barrels

I realize that we are talking about the # 4 Enfield, I am very familiar with the rifle, my experience has been that I always had to make a relieve cut in my lathe, just in front of the receiver in order to remove these barrels.
You seem to have had much better luck with the removal of these barrels and I would love to hear about some of these #4 barrel removal methods you have used in the past
 
I, too, have found No. 4 barrels to be a bit of a challenge, and would be interested in learning how to remove these without issues.
