Hello,
I have been searching this site for a while on information for my Stevens 200 in .308. I just ordered a McGowan barrel for it and since there are no smiths within a few hours that can swap it out I am looking at doing it myself. My reading here has shown that I need a barrel nut wrench, go/no go gauges, and some way to secure it all while loosening/tightening. I have read about the wheeler barrel vise as well as the action vise. Unless someone can talk me into the line of thinking that the barrel vise is better I am thinking of the action vise. I noticed on Brownells that there are two separate vises. One is for round groove nut and the other is for square. I am wondering which one do I need? Are they talking about the grooves in the barrel nut? Thanks,
