[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2361198, member: 68758"] Rear entry wrench is fine for installing on barrels on new receivers. You mentioned taking it beyond "hobby"- rear entry wrenches may not be suitable for pulling factory barrels (or milsurps) that have been torqued on by a chimpanzee, you risk twisting the action. You'll want an around-the-receiver style for them, so that may be a future purchase. Good idea to have both. The Brownell's wrench was the first one I bought 10 years ago- and I've never looked back. I challenge anyone to break that bad boy- I've had a 3' cheater bar on it and lifted my 220 lbs off the floor. The wrench with the universal, and Rem 700 heads will do most anything you run into.
