Lewis Gun Barrel Jack

[hatrick]

Does anyone have or know where I can get a Lewis gun barrel Jack? Removing the barrel from the aluminum cooling fins is such a bugger. 

 

Thanks,

Eric

APEX Gun Parts is currently working with a supplier to get this manufactured.
First piece I expect thru the door is the jack screw collar, complete with markings.
Here is a picture of an original.
Not sure when I will receive the first deliveries.

Richard… that’s fantastic that you are going to reproduce these!  Definitely put me down for a set when they are ready.

I know it has been a few months since this topic came up.
APEX Gun Parts now has new manufactured blued steel collars used in conjunction with the bronze jack screw to extract the LEWIS LMG barrel from the aluminum radiator assembly of the ground gun.
 

Follow the link to the web site:

Here is the collar that was the reference to duplicate the new made tool.
