Do you use a special wrench to remove the 97 Winchester cap nut? I tried to get it to loosen with a brass punch and it turned a little, but I don’t want to ding it. Or do I just have a tight one. Thanks Gregg
We do have a tool for forearm nut removal. It was with Bob when I started to work for him and it appears to be made in the shop. You will probably have to make one yourself. I am unaware of an aftermarket tool. The nuts are usually tight.

The Armorer’s course for the Winchester 1897 has Bob using a tool that one of his friends was making. He thought Brownells would sell this. They do not have this one but they have different one in the catalog. It is kind of spendy, but works for both the Model 97 and the Model 12.
