Barrel vise vs bench vise

[stomp442]

I was not impressed with the viper. After changing about three barrels out the springs were shot and it seemed no matter how much I tightened it up the barrel would still spin and cause it to get all marked up. I have since switched to the Brownells barrel vice and haven't had a problem changing barrels out on anything. Savages, Remingtons, Winchesters and even old military mausers come off with ease.

I fabricated my own and it has yet to fail me. Used it on Japanese Arisakas and Mosins plus numerous others.

Is there a video of these vises in action. Trying to visualize how these work but guess I'm not getting it.

Agree with LR's suggestions.

Perhaps, I guess I was lucky barrel wasn't bent:eyebrows:.

Come on guys....the bench is covered in Remington parts.

I see a Remage barrel and nut. Remington action with, it looks like a Timney trigger. Remington stainless jewelled bolt.

No Savage parts to be seen.
