Man sorry to here, why don't we send everything to @iShoot17 that way he will receive them both about the same time and can take it from there.
Heyo, y’all! I got the package last night, and got the barrel off the action this morning. My needs are met! I’ll get pictures of everything.
Thanks a lot, @dspjaggar!
@hereinaz Did you ever ship the gauges? I need to figure out if I should hold off shipping or if I should keep this sucker going. @ImperfectLiberty I’ll need your mailing address! Shoot me a PM!

Just cut a ring in the barrel with a angle grinder right in front of the recoil lug/receiver face. It will come right off.... Works like a charm with Tikka and Rem700 factory barrels...
Here is a Rem700 308 factory barrel that wouldnt move without a relief cut...just used a dewalt angle hand grinder with a cut off wheel. Doesn't have to be pretty or super deep. Just stay in front of and don't hit your receiver... it will pop right off. You can see those threads why it wouldn't come off without a relief cut...No matter how hot I heated it up, wouldnt come off without the relief cut.
^This is what I had to do to get the varmint barrel off my M700 action. No matter how tight I put the barrel vice in my bench vice, it would eventually twist. I was trying to save the barrel for a Buddy, but realized it wasn’t happening.
I put the action in the action wrench (without the handle) and placed it in my bench vice. I twisted the action just enough that the recoil lug was sitting flat on the action wrench but NOT in the recoil lug slot. I then raised the wrench high enough that the guard on my angle grinder sat on the jaws of my vice and acted as a guide to prevent going low and hitting the action. I took my time and worked my way around the entire barrel. Once I got the full way around, I put it back in the barrel vice, clamped hard and the action broke free of the barrel with little pressure.
That barrel never shot that well anyways!

Super good idea and props to everyone involved so far restoring my faith in humanity and this small group!

Awesome idea, glad its working. I have rebarreled a couple savages. If anyone has questions just message me, I will help if I can.
I need to pull the barrel off my Bergara. This still floating around? I would love to borrow the tools!
He hasn't been on here in about 10 days. He'll likely respond when he has time to check in.
I saw that. That’s why I tagged him. He should get a notification that way.

if you already have it you can go first!

I have the tools right now. @BoltActionBrotherhood is next in line. Contact @dspjaggar to see if its ok if parts are split up..
No issues here, as long as yall coordinate with each other and are transparent in this thread when you send or receive something
@dspjaggar and @z77280
I will be sending the 308 gauges out to z77280 and he will be sending them back to me when he is done so that everything ultimately stays together when it goes to @BoltActionBrotherhood

I received the gauges from @svthuh today. I have used them and sending back out to him today as well.
Thanks guys! This really is a phenomenal group of people here on the hide.

hey everyone the tools are currently in circulation and I will be away from home until August time frame. So in order to keep this going, if you find yourself as the last one in line with the tools please keep them and monitor the thread and send to the next person who need them when it pops up again. I'll have internet access here and there and will pop in but I'm leaving it on yall.
its been working pretty well so far, lets keep it going.

@z77280 I received the gauges back and I will be able to send everything out this coming week to @BoltActionBrotherhood if he is ready for them.
I am actually still waiting on my barrel if someone would like to use them before me. I am not in a huge rush.
Just found this thread after searching for what tools I will need to remage my 280AI. I am not in a rush either but I do have the barrel so if @BoltActionBrotherhood has not gotten his in yet I would be willing to be the next in line if @svthuh could send them my way? I will forward them on to @BoltActionBrotherhood or whomever once I am done. Just send me a PM for the address and let me know how much to send you for shipping?
Nope still not yet, go on to the next fella. Thank you for checking!
Received the package this morning when I got the mail. The handle is missing as well as the shims. There was a small tear in the corner of the box and the handle must have slipped out and I guess the shims with it. I will try and come up with a replacement handle of some sort. Were the shims for the barrel wrench?
That sucks! They were lead shims. I didn’t end up using them at all.
I thought I had that box taped up well enough to survive.
I did however insure it so if you want to file a claim for the cost of the missing pieces, you are welcome to.
The box was a little beat up and you did have it trapped except right at the corner that tore out. I think I'll try a claim just because. In the mean time I think I'll find a big bolt or all thread and fashion a handle.
Bummer, hopefully they can replace it. I was using a new box everytime bc of this fear.. maybe one of our resident smiths can cut down and thread an old barrel to fit. Idk if it would work or not.
I used a new box as well and I thought I taped it well enough. I’m bummed this happened on my watch. Hopefully the insurance will cover the replacement costs and all will be well again.
