Overview

Built for maintenance work on compatible Mauser 98 and 2-pin stock cross bolts, this wrench is intended to make removal faster and more straightforward when servicing a rifle stock. Its correct pin spacing, outside diameter, and relieved center are designed around the task at hand, rather than general-purpose use. The compact 4 1/4-inch length and tool steel construction give it a straightforward, purpose-made profile for the bench or range bag. For hunters and rifle owners who keep a classic Mauser in working order, it is a focused shop tool for a specific job.

  • At 4 1/4" long and 9/16" in diameter, it is a compact specialty tool rather than a multi-function shop wrench.
  • Tool steel construction is listed, but no additional finish or corrosion-related details are provided in the product data.
