Barrel vise

[Bill W]

Anyone on here close to Moses Lake have a barrel vise?   I want to get my one barrel rethroated and can't find my vise.  I have the action wrench for my BAT.  I have to ship the barrel to the gunsmith and don't want to ship the serialized action.  My vise got misplaced in a move.

So, anyone close to Moses Lake.  Barrel is a heavy barrel.

If not found Put couple wood blocks together, bore hole between em, clamp in vise ?   See jasnts bench pic of his clamped with bolts and bar stock.

I have no bench vise... but I like that idea.

headed over to a friends house in a few minutes to try the 2x4 method.

I’d happily loan you mine but they are pretty simple to build

I have this mounted to a piece of heavy angle so it can be put in a vise or stored under the bench when not in use......never had a slip.

I tried reaming a 7/8 inch hole thru two blocks of 2x4.  Barrel diameter is roughly .900 at the grip point.   It kept spinning in the wood even when I added a toilet paper roll.  Dang..

Of the wooden variety, I think its mostly oak or other hard wood used successfully.

I'm good at some things and kinda flat on others.  Shop work is my flat area.

Have any Rosen?   My barrel blocks are oak

Not to be critical...  but that bench is waaaayyy to clean!

Other three are in varying stages of worse

I have a barrel vice with oak blocks.  i put powdered sugar on the wood where it makes contact with the barrel to keep the barrel from spinning.  It works great for me.

found a good price on Grizzly for a Bald Eagle barrel vise.  It should be here early next week.  I've used the Bald Eagle front rests for years and figure if Bill Gephardt designed it, it must be good.  $38.  I won't misplace this one and probably when it gets here my other one will come out of hiding.

Good deal!  I was worried.

This was good info yesterday.  This morning info shows the vise is "back ordered".  Dang.
