    Garand action wrench question.

    Hello, Does anyone have any of the Brownell's action wrenches, and would one of you mind measuring the distance between the bolts on center, and the bolt diameter? I have a wheeler wrench, and want to know if I can get away with purchasing only a Garandicon head from Brownells and use it with the wheeler handle/base.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    3.25 inches center to center bolts look to be .5 inches

    Thanks.
    For anyone that comes across this, the Wheeler is .5 bolts, but 3 inches on center.
    I may just take Jim's suggestion and make my own out of a block of aluminum.
