[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2407153, member: 94154"] Three builds done (prefits), and another four in process. These four are shouldered. Won't do prefits any more. I use a beam torque wrench that I bought in '77. I prefer it to the "click" one I have, but you have to look properly at the markings because parallax is a beotch. x10. oof. On your vise, I've carved blocks of soft wood to wrap the barrels, but found the best way to grip the barrel with enough torque and not damage it is to wrap it in solder before clamping it in the vise. You can then reef down and that barrel won't go anywhere. It swages the heck out of the solder, which I then put in my casting pile. I have many spools of old 50:50 and also lead "rope" that I have for future installations & removals. [/QUOTE]
