The extension somehow comes slightly loose. I can feel wobble and see the barrel shoulder moves when I wiggle the muzzle. Have called the manufacturer for warranty repair. I reckon it will take weeks or even months before the rifle runs again.
That makes me contemplate doing it myself. The proper barrel extension wrench is out-of-stock everywhere I have looked. But this one is available.

I know it is not made for torquing the extension, but I think it should work. Plan is to hold down the barrel in a barrel vise and torque the extension with the tool and torque wrench. What think you?
Do I need to extract the index pin before I torque? I just pull it out with pliers?
Thanks for your inputs.
