[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2375275, member: 68758"] Not a problem if you have the ability to machine it; your take is spot-on. I pull a lot of milsurp barrels for replacement- 2" aluminum stock, 3/4" Grade 8 all-thread/nuts. Crank on it with as long a cheater as I need. It's all about surface area contact. If the barrel has a straight cylinder ahead of the receiver easy-peasy. Little or no straight cylinder, with a lot of taper (like Tikkas), are where custom bushings, tapered to match the barrel contour are desirable. Mine: [img]https://i.imgur.com/0byjnBBl.jpg[/img] For a commercial vise, I'd go with the Brownell's. Every bit as stout as their action wrench which is indestructible. [/QUOTE]
