I need to remove a few old rifle barrels and thought I would try and knock up some type of barrel vice that won't ruin the old barrels like the footprint and stilson approach of old....:no: likewise, I didn't want to spend the drachma on a dedicated vice that can only be used for that purpose......so thought I'd post here first to pick the collective brain before approaching the dedicated Gunsmithing Forums etc where sometimes allegiances taint the replies....:U
Admittedly there are various brands and flavours commercially available along with heaps of home made jobbies described on the net, everything from car jacks to lathe dogs.... but am interested if anyone here had gone down the path of knocking one up themselves and would care to share what they learnt in the process, design, ideas, suggestions etc...:?
Thanks...........Lee
