Question on barrel replacement ...

G.T. · 05-23-2011, 10:15 PM

Hi Guys, I seldom have to have a barrel removed, but in trying to be a'bit more self sufficient, I have delved into a few removals and so far so good, My equipment protects the receiver well enough, but, my barrel vice set up using lead shims, doesn't seem to be the real ticket... No galling, but it's hell on the finish... So, what's a guy to try next??

... I want to be a bit better prepared to put a nice barrel back on... Soooooo, how do you guys hold a barrel and how much force....

... Best to all, til...lat'r....GT
