[QUOTE="RandySch, post: 2375263, member: 66730"] Building your own barrel vice could present a challenge. The clamping force required to keep a grip on factory barrel while breaking the action free, is significant. I have is a viper vise from Brownell's and discovered quickly that it did not have enough force to grip a Weatherby barrel... The barrel was a throw away and I wasn't concerned with the condition of it when I was finished. I soaked the action threads in Kroil for two days. Still wouldn't go. I finally used the vise with pipe wrench backup. I finally was able to pop it loose. A switch barrel design is great. You change barrels at ease which allows you to also change calibers. [/QUOTE]
