Some factory barrels can be really tight, and it is kind of hard to hold on the barrel, that's why it looks so heavy. Sounds like you are on the right track, you might want to use a dead blow or big rubber mallet on your barrel nut wrench. I don't use a barrel vice, I use an action wrench and a barrel nut wrench but I see the advantages of a good barrel vice, you don't have to remove magazine box and front scope mount.
