[QUOTE="Boe, post: 1925055, member: 25890"] Get yourself the cardboard tube that comes with a roll of toilet paper or paper towels, cut the tube length wise. Apply a moderate amount of rosin to the inside of the tube and wrap it as tight as you can around your barrel then secure it with tape. This will enable you to freely position the barrel in your vise without everything coming loose. ( very important step) Torque barrel in vise and remove receiver. Clamping pressure is very important to eliminate the possibility of spinning the barrel in the vise. I've removed countless factory sporter taper barrels using this method and never damaged the finish whether it be factory bluing, Cerakote or other spray on finishes. Over the years I've used this method on 3 different barrel vises I have in my shop, Davidson, Brownells, and a Viper that Bob Pastor makes.
