[QUOTE="Clark, post: 1099792, member: 6600"] For making flat bottom Mauser action wrenches I like to use 2x2xL pieces of steel and 1/2-13 tapped hole and knurled cap screws. I have used 2" round steel, and that does make mounting the cheater bar easier. For making barrel vises I like to use 2x2xL steel and 7/8-14 threaded rod and nuts. I like to make the bushings with drills, boring bar and hacksaw from 1.5" round 6061 Aluminum round stock. Really thick bushing are better 2 piece. Thin ones are better one piece with multiple slits from both directions. I use powder sugar or corn starch to raise the coefficient of friction between the bushing and the barrel. I like to bolt the barrel vise to a 400 pound bench. For making round bottom Rem700 action wrenches I make the equivalent of a handheld barrel vise with a cheater bar attached. [/QUOTE]
