Whew !!! That wasn't too bad, my first barrel swap is 1/2 way there. :)

I'm a sucker for a good DIY so, I set off on building my own Barrel vise and Action vise for my first barrel swap. I set the action up, made it nice and snug, gave the barrel nut wrench a tap-tap and off she came !!

You did a fine job building the vise setup. Now your hooked for sure. Welcome to "The Brotherhood".

Good job. What diameter hole in your clamp block? Now that you got that old action off that nice barrel..........just send it to me. ::)

Head spacing set !! I'm ready to roll.

Can't believe how easy the whole process was. I can see how it turns into an obsession.

Thanks for all the tips boys.
