Sauer 202 tool question
Hi,
I recently acquired a used Sauer 202, standard model, in 30-06. It did not come with the stock removal tool or barrel change tool. The U.S. dealer for this item has none in stock. They say a replacement may be months away, German order etc . . .
Meanwhile, the rifle and stock could really use a good cleaning. I'd like to remove the stock.
So, here's my question: While I wait for a factory tool, does anyone know the tool measurements so I might search for or fabricate a temporary substitute?
In other words, does anyone know if the tool is an Allen head bit, or something else, and what bit size and shaft length are needed?
I've not been able to find an answer on the web, and so far have not received an answer to this question from the distributor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Jon

Horton,
It only took me an hour to find where I place my tool set. It is for the model 200 but I hope it is the same as your model.
Miy two tools are ziplocked together so measurements are approximate. The long tool is 27.7cm long or about 10-7/8 inches which INCLUDES almost one inch of a female socket hex head that fits a number 5 metric hex key. The other end is a male number 5 metric hex (in fact the whole length is a number 5 male metric hex up to the female socket which is welded or solder onto it.
The small tool is a 90 degree hex wrench which has a plastic protective covering on almost all of the long side and the turn. Then it goes just a tad onto the short side. The short side is a hex wrench, also number 5 metric. At the other end, the long end, there is a nib less than 1/2 inch long which is smaller than the running length of the long side. Except for the nib, that long side is covered in plastic and I cannot see anything but imagine that the rest of the long side is also #5metric. The nib is rounded and has a diameter of 4 or 5 mm.
