Howa 1500 barrel change out from a 7mm Rem. Mag. to a 6.8 Western

This project consisted of a customer wanting to put a different caliber barrel on a new Howa 1500 receiver. The stock barrel which was a 7mm Rem. Mag. is fitted up with a 6.8 Western. The barrel nut that came with the new barrel takes a Savage barrel nut wrench, but some of them were to sloppy and may cause damage to the barrel nut when torqueing it to the manufacturer requirements.
