Remington Model 10 barrel bushing tool?
Posted: 15 Dec 2016 05:44
Guys,
I've been keeping my Model 10 Remington on the far back burner with it being stripped down to a nice pile of parts in the "tool shed", so to speak. The major issue for the shotgun is its barrel adjustment bushing - I believe that's the right name - which is a critical part for Model 10's/29's/31's. If you've owned or messed around with any of these, you'll know what I mean.
Also, I picked up a cheap 4-pack of used 10 and 29 receivers at some point, 3 are totally stripped minus the adjustment bushing 1 still has it in place. Now, for reference, here's a current Gunbroker listing for one of the bushings so you know what they look like:
Model 10 Shotgun barrel adjustment bushing
I'm hunting down the correct bushing removal/installation tool that would properly mate up with the index slots (that's what I am calling them) to replace or install the bushing in my receivers. I bet they might look like a Model 8 barrel bushing tool, but I have no idea. I'm not in connection with a machinist any more that I know has the capability of making one either.
That's all, just looking for some ideas here. Maybe someone's got knowledge of the correct tool, or a direction I might go in my quest.
Thanks guys!
Adam
PS.....2 days till Winter Break for me....yes! Away from my 4th graders for 2 weeks!!!!
