[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1041797, member: 2736"] My experience with V block designs has not been good either. What I found was that if you tightened the wrench enough to break loose some actions there was damage to the finish and in some cases even locking the threads even tighter. I use Aluminum bushings that fit the barrel perfectly (And even buy bushing blanks that I can bore to fit special contours)and with the full circle action wrench (For round actions) I use .003 thousandths shims (Copper or brass)to go between the wrench and the action as a buffer and it grips the action without excessive tightening. if the copper/brass does mark the bluing simply use bore solvent to clean it off. For the actions with the fixed recoil lug (Like the Weatherby, Winchester, Mauser and so forth there are wrench heads for those specific actions that work perfectly. I have only found one action barrel combo that I could not break loose, and had to relief cut the barrel to action fit to break it loose because someone had used Loctite when they assembled it. I love making my on tools, (At least 70% of my special tools are home made)but sometimes the right tool for the job may be a purchased special tool and is better in the long run than a homemade tool. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
