Has Anyone Installed a Boyd's Forend on Their 500?

If you have, I have a question.

The question is, what tool did you use to tighten up the castle nut on the end of the action tube?

It appear the castle nut will sit recessed about an inch inside the Boy's forend.

If you have, I have a question.

I have not but some here have. Your chances of receiving an answer increase exponentially if you just throw the question out there. ;-D

if it were me I would cut a strip of metal and slide it down in there and use pliers or something to turn the strip of metal to tighten it down. Ive honestly used a butter knife before it doesn't have to be stupid tight to hold.

Sorry I'm late on this.

We've got a a piece of flat iron that'll do it, like the posters said.

But in a pinch a pair of needle nose pliars will work.
