I'll dig my kit out and photo the tool for you...actually have thought about having the local machine shop buddy making up a couple pf copys. Seems like the two items lost/misplaced are the barrel insert and the tool. Go fiqure???

The tool is cut so as to go over the Barrel insert cartridge feed ramp. The barrel has one (1) lug and is inserted clock-wise until fully locked. Removal is counter-clockwise. See my previous post on how to pull the barrel insert from the host barrel.

....that you use. It's "L " shaped with a guide that fits in the .22 chamber. A fatter disc area is behind that fits over the feed ramp. You turn the tool like a bolt unlocking. This rotates the upper locking stud to where it can slide back. Just gently push it out with a .30 cal cleaning rod.

If you have just the bbl. and want to sell it , I'd like first dibs.

Oh , if your going to shoot '06 , be aware that the ejector was removed and needs to be replaced. If the ejector's in the gun , It'll need to be removed so the bbl locking lug can pass , allowing the insert to slide out.

All correct info. I prefer to remove the barrel (after its turned with the tool) with a .22 Cal rod inserted thru the receiver and patch it at the muzzle end with 3/4's of a .30 Cal patch left dry and "pull" the barrel insert out. Prevents muzzle damage.
