Yes just one 'lug' and a very close fitting diameter so it would be well supported, also I would not expect the nut to be overly tight. It is an emergency solution only.

EDIT - looks like you are sorted :goodjob:

If it's the original barrel, factory fitted they are *&^%$ tight. you will need a good barrel vice of some sort. (they don't need to be very tight when being refitted)

What caliber is the barrel - you will need the go/no go gauges as well.

Hi all who replied,

Just heard from Sanselm who is in my neck of the woods tomorrow, and is bringing his kit :shakeshout: So immediate panic over.

We should still try to make some of these................nothing like having your own kit.

I have a new barrel to fit to a Savage F/TR and it's proving nigh on impossible to get hold of a wrench at a sensible price, or even at all....................the Savage importer, Edgar Bros, "doesn't get involved with this aspect", and "anyway, Savage stuff is taking 5 months to arrive"
I'm happy to pay for a loan of one.............

I have one if you still need one

BTW DON'T grip the receiver too far away from the thread. I bent the rails on one.

Thanks for your kind offer.

I think we're going to grip the barrel just in front of the chamber. It's a bit meatier than the receiver.

Guys
I would strongly recommend using the correct spanner!

We were with some of the Continental Palma team last week and I was very impressed with the way one was swapping barrels, he just screwed them on by hand, backed them off a 3/4 turn then spun them round by hand to lock them and that was it, job done. The barrel had two registers on the tenon which helped no end. It is interesting to see just how many MR &TR shooters also only hand tighten barrels.

Yes the correct spanner is always best.
