[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1425475, member: 74902"] I use an action wrench and a barrel nut wrench. No need for a barrel vise or V blocks. Guys above are right, the factory barrel nut feels more like 2 tons. An easy way to get it loose, is to put the action wrench and barrel nut wrench on at about a 45 degree angle (or more like 50~60 degree is even better). Then lay the action/barrel with the wrenches on down on a piece of carpet, so the whole thing stands kinda like a rifle with a bipod on it. Then step on it with firm pressure. It will easily pop the nut loose. It is the easiest way. You can actually put it back together the say way. Just change the orientation of the wrenches, so they tighten things up instead of loosen when you step on it. [/QUOTE]
