M1 Garand receiver/barrel wrench
I'm hoping to machine my own barrel/receiver wrench as time allows. Just wondering if anyone has a sketch of the dimensions and such.

For a number of years I used a large adjustable wrench and a penny. Penny went on the top of the receiver ring to protect the finish. Worked like a charm!...

Ahem, I use my USGI barreling machine 
Sarco had two for sale brand new @ $200, works out to about $1 per pound of weight. In typical government fashion, it only put barrels on, didn't take them off. A bit of judicious filing, however, allowed me to flip the wrench assembly all the way over so it would do both. Great tool that indexes the barrel perfectly.
Real men measure once and cut.

I made mine out of 1" by 4" by 4" aluminum bar. I made a vise and a wrench. They both bolt on and then the one on the barrel goes into the vise and the one on the action gets the pipewrench. I can index without problem and never marks barrel or action. Had to make them from scratch however...
