Barrel Vise question

[1vakid]

So, tonight I removed my first ever Savage barrel. In the end I ended up with a couple of small scuffs on the barrel.

looks like this one. The removal went perfect. So, is there a secret to locking the barrel down and not get scuff marks?

Just a couple of things I've done. Wrap it with electrical tape or I use an old bicycle inner tube as a barrel cover. You have to wash the powder off the inner tube or it'll slip.

[1vakid]

Great. Thanks for the respond. So, I guess I was on the right track without knowing.

I heard a trick that worked VERY well for me....wrap the barrel with thin electronics work rosin core solder. The solder plastically deforms into the wooden barrel vice blocks and galls onto the barrel, and it was snug as being welded in there. When I was done, the solder just peeled off the barrel and left no marks.

Don't know what kind of vise you have...but if it's a "universal" type vise that doesn't use barrel-specific bushings it's impossible to get optimal barrel contact, especially if there's a lot of contour in he chamber area (no cylinder).

It's physics, the more surface area contact, the more pressure that can be applied to the barrel. Universal vises are fine for spinning prefits on and off, but often have difficulty (or can't ) remove factory barrels installed with a ton of torque. Rosin (even powdered sugar in a pinch) will help, be sure to degrease the barrel first. Sometimes they'll slip anyway...which is why I won't work on blued barrels that aren't to be refinished.

Use an action wrench in a vise and just spin the barrel nut loose.

[hereinaz]

I cut smooth nuts almost all the way off now, cause of that. Stop short of barrel and recoil lug.

Also, now I use an action wrench to spin nut, then loosen action wrench to spin off barrel.

Factory barrels are way too tight.

I have had good results raping an index card around the barrel. I have removed 10 or 12 with 3 being no nut rigs with no marks on barrels. I do remember one was tight came loose at 80 foot pounds.

[RustyShackle]

My very first barrel I used a crescent wrench and the supplied wrench with my bbl kit.

Set stripped barrelled action on floor, use a heavy piece of leather between crescent wrench and receiver/recoil lug, adjust the jaws on wrench until tight. Stand on the nut wrench. Can’t say that I recommend this method but it works.

I bought an action wrench from midway. It works pretty well.

Use a Viper Barrel vise.. Best purchase by far!
