[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 803679, member: 2736"] I use the vice and wrench from Brownell's with a set of Aluminum bushing that they sell. There is also a kit that you can cast bushings for the barrel wrench that will give you a perfect fit on any barrel. I line the Aluminum barrel bushings with one layer of the paper shop towels and it doesn't leave a mark on the barrel if you keep it. On the receiver wrench I use .003 copper shims to protect the finish on the receiver, (If there is any copper left on the action it can be easily removed with bore solvent. Use a large rubber mallet on the receiver wrench instead of a cheater and the impact from the mallet will break it lose without turning the barrel in the barrel vice. The sealer will stand up to a lot of torque but it has very little impact strength and normally comes off with one blow from the rubber mallet. This is a case of the right tool for the job. There are other ways as mentioned but they are time consuming compared to using the right tools. Normally it takes less than 3 or 4 minutes to remove even the most difficult barrel. In reference to the Gorilla that puts barrels own, The Savage Gorilla is the biggest. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
