I gave up on barrel blocks long ago.
I been using this setup for at least 10 years to remove factory installed barrels. I lost count how many it has removed, my own and those I loaned it to. One day it removed four in about 30 minutes in the range clubhouse setting on a folding table!
The action wrench is refuge from my switch barrel Rem days and the nut wrench a Wheeler.
The handle on the action wrench is all the leverage needed to turn the action loose about 1/4-1/3 of a turn.
BTW, for swaps afterward I use a rear entry wrench and a modified open ended spanner(nut wrench). Makes changing barrels a snap!
