John Campbell in his book on the 1885 states the dimensions vary somewhat and gives the dimensions for either octagon, half-octagon, or round barrels.

For 30"       #4 barrel: width at receiver - 1.12"     width at muzzle -1.08"
                 #5 barrel:                             1.16"                              1.12" 

Hope this helps. Don't know about the removal tool.

Regards,
Powderman
