[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 2135721, member: 31264"] Crxx! Not the news I expected. I can't blame you for taking it elsewhere, but I confess I've been rooting for you and I think I understand. If, after sleeping on it, you are game to try some more....... You could try hanging some weight on the action wrench just shy of what it takes to turn the barrel in the barrel vice and then leave it overnight. Sometimes slow and steady will creep the adhesive - sorta like pulling price stickers off of retail products. Pull fast and the label tears, pull very slowly and the adhesive let's go instead. It's a game of patience. Also, same goes for using the hammer in the morning. Try a lot of lower force blows like an air hammer while maintaining the pressure on the wrench handle. Also, I went back and took another look at your setup. I didn't notice it before, but it looks like maybe you have too much rosin in there. It's only supposed to be a very thin surface sticker. Rosin itself won't take a lot shear force. I sprinkle it on thinly or dab it on with my finger so it's a very thin coat. Also, the rosin seems to be collected in various places which suggests the wood block to barrel fit isn't as good as it could be either. You didn't mention the thick plates I suggested to sandwich the wood blocks and spread the load across their length. Without them, the wood will probably bend away from the barrel and provide very little additional strength beyond the vice jaws. You can also make a set of steel or aluminium jaws for your existing vice by boring out a piece of square stock to the same ID as the barrels OD and then cutting it in half with a band saw or even a cut-off saw. This would make your existing barrel vice almost as strong as the Brownells. If you do take it to your guy across town, I hope he has a lathe..... I wish I lived close by. [/QUOTE]
