[QUOTE="Crankbender, post: 780109, member: 22254"] I use oak blocks in my vice, drilled out to around the smaller diameter of the bbl shank, the thicker part of the shank pushes the wood out for a good fit. I then use rosin to hold the bbl secure in the blocks, wont hold without the rosin (pine tar). Heard of people using icing sugar instead of rosin. A bit of heat on the action at the threads can help with newer Remingtons due to the white crap they put on the threads. Obviously don't heat the action so much you ruin the hardness with a torch. Just needs to be hot to the touch but not burn your hand hot. Heat gun would work. I'm not a smith just a hobbyist. Someone else might have better advice. [/QUOTE]
