[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1672754, member: 96226"] It's all about technique there. You get the action face and action wrench real close to the vise, clamp the barrel in the vise as hard as you can get it and then swat the action wrench with a rubber mallet as hard as you can. The impact velocity breaks the torque. If the factory barrel is trash can food, grind a couple flats on it and/or don't bother with the soft jaws. No trouble so far with everything from 100+ year old Steyrs and Mausers to remmies, winnies and a grip of savages. The worst ever was a Spanish Mauser where the barrel and action froze together and it still worked there, with the requisite amount of penetrating oil and effort. [/QUOTE]
