Yep. Lately I am having a lot of trouble removing barrels from new actions. I finally broke down and bought a barrel vise and new styled nut wrench from Dennis' new endeavor, "Accurate Barrels, Stocks and Accessories".
Makes a BIG difference. I don't think I could have removed some of them without it. So far I haven't needed any rosin for the barrels and the wrench does not damage the smooth nuts, they can even be re-used if you want to do so... Also, the notched nuts don't get scuffed at all either.
