Ive made a few of these for friends ,and ,although they are not pretty , they work as well as any. I got the idea from somebody on this board so I can't claim credit. Find a junk 7/16" ,1/4" drive socket and wrap a wind of masking tape around it.  Scribe a line around the circumference , 5/32" from the bottom edge. Clamp the socket against the BP like the picture and mark where you want the teeth  Use the dremel to make cuts.   On the circumference cuts go just up to the tooth. You don't need to cut through 100%. The metal on sockets is pretty brittle. Use a punch to knock the weakened circumference cuts. They will snap off .  Clean up any sharp places with a small wheel.  The complete package  mshm |

Good details on how to cut the socket. So easy a "Buckrub" can do it. ;D

Fowlplay, you are as insane as your name, dude.
I got lost at "find a junk 7/16", 1/4"..............."
This is why God invented jobs, so we could afford to pay someone to do this for us. Mercy.
OK OK OK.........I MIGHT understand it if I studied it. But if I actually tried to do this, with my own hands (nine thumbs and one odd appendage hanging about, no nail) it'd turn out broken, whomper-jawed, wrong size, and would ruin my receiver. Trust me.

Yikes Buckrub, just send me your savage mlers and I will remove the breech plugs for you for a small nominal fee!

This is fun. Most board members are not aware that buckrub has a fully equipped machine shop with computerized lathes, milling machines and teaches others how to make items cheaper than they can order them. I sent him an antique swiss watch that had a hairspring so tiny you needed a magnifying glass to see it. Buckrub sent it back with holes bored through the hairspring at spaced intervals with the watch still ticking away keeping perfect time. Ozark

Nice. I have made a couple at work for myself. I used some heavy walled steel tube and welded an 8mm Allen bolt head to the back so that I could use an Allen wrench to remove the plug and not have to remove the bolt. Also I can put a short, cut off piece of the 8mm Allen wrench in the BP "socket" and use a 5/16" or 8mm ratcheting GearWrench to remove or install it.
I like how you marked out the teeth. I got lazy and only cut out two teeth for my socket, but it works OK. I'll try and figure out how to post pics on this forum and put up a couple.

mshm99's BP tool is great , and not to out do his efforts but here's another option. I modified the existing fishwacker that came with the savage. I cut it shorter with a pipe cutter , drilled two holes 90* to eachother (this was easier to drill and cut after I took the temper out of the pipe , then when the pipe was cut and the holes were drilled I reheated and quenched the pipe back to original hardness) then I took a socket from a cheap 1/4 drive socket set that was a little larger than the inner diameter of the fishwacker. I heated up the one end to expand the pipe and inserted the socket below the depth of the holes , when the metal cooled the socket was fixed securely in the wrench. I can use either the 1/4 drive ratchet or the rod to loosen the BP wrench. here's a pic.  |
