BROWNELLS
REMINGTON 700 RIFLE ACTION WRENCH & HEAD

Description
Ratings (5)

The only commercially available action wrench system that surrounds and supports the receiver ring and recoil lug to distribute potentially damaging torque forces equally. The solid steel base has a unique, machined relief to clear the recoil lug on most Mauser-type bolt action rifles and, the individual, bolt-on Heads are machined to provide an exact fit around and against the receiver ring or barrel nut for each of the firearm models listed. Together, they support the receiver in a ring of steel and greatly increase the amount of surface gripping area to totally eliminate twisted bolt ways or damaged, ruined receivers. This is the most advanced, complete, professional-quality, Action Wrench System. With it, you can prevent expensive receiver damage on MOST popular rifle actions, including military models, plus, models for selected handguns. Two-piece head completely encircles cylindrical style action for 100% surface contact. Upper Head indexes on the forward guard screw and positions recoil lug properly during barrel installation. Includes both heads and longer bolts. Fits all Remington actions with receiver diameter of 1.355". Double-angle design accepts factory lug or Tubb and Shilen tapered design.

you get what you pay (22/06/2009)

product was used on both a new and older Rem 700. Very difficult to realign recoil lug since the "action pin hole" is used by the wrench. Slightly warped the action on my older firearm... oh well.

Works like it should (05/04/2011)

If one reads the instructions and uses the tool like it was intended there are no issues with this tool. The tool works perfectly and has never damaged any receiver it was used on.

Good Design Wrench (06/07/2011)

This is a very useful tool once you figure out exactly how to use it. The instructions are somewhat vague, incomplete and could be made much more useful by adding some photos or illustrations (as could most of Brownell's instruction sheets). The directions also do not mention that it may be necessary to heat the receiver over the threaded area in order to get the barrel to release. The guys who end up bending and warping their receivers need to heed this trick. You should not have to apply much muscle, and if you do you are stressing the receiver. I recommend you use an electric heat gun and not a torch to heat the receiver. If the same barrel is going to be re-installed, I usually make a small registration line on the barrel and receiver along the bottom side where it does not show. This can be used during re-installation of the barrel as a reference point to assure the same seating depth.

Might have to fix it before you can use (19/02/2013)

I got my wrench after being backordered.

The bolt on one side would not thread in. The thread must be hosed so I will try and fix via a tap wrench.

Just be aware a head of time you may have to repair the new wrench before you can use it.

The Best Action Wrench You Can Buy (08/03/2014)

I purchased this with the Remington 700 heads, and absolutely am in love with this tool! I absolutely love the cut-out for the recoil lug to keep it aligned properly when installing the barrel. Keep in mind that the cut-out is slighly wider than a factory Remington lug, and must be shimmed in order to keep it perfect. If you are using an aftermarket lug with tapered sides, the fit is outstanding! I've used this to assemble/disassemble dozens of 700's so far, and this wrench has yet to even scratch one! The indexing hole that accepts an action screw is a nice touch - just be sure to order an extra screw to use with the wrench, because really really stubborn actions can slightly warp the screw. I'd rather replace a $3 screw than to have the wrench slip on the receiver! I was using the Surgeon barrel wrench, but after getting in an older 700 which ultimately required heat and 250+ ft.lbs or torque to break loose - the Surgeon tool would have mangled the receiver!
I have yet to see ANY other action wrench out there better than this one!
Also, be sure to get a matching Brownell's Barrel Vise!
