[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 568982, member: 2736"] First , buy a good barrel vise and the Savage barrel nut wrench. Savage has hired a gorilla to tighten the nut on most rifles and they are very very tight. I normally have to beat on the wrench handle with a 3 lb hammer to get one lose. The odds of breaking one lose is slim without the proper tools. I know some use the action to hold while breaking the connection between the barrel and the action on many types of actions. and I personally saw an action that was sprung/twisted using this method.so I don't do it that way (The barrel is stronger anyway). Sometimes a good tool is required and IMO this is one of those times. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
