Title: Anyone have a barrel vise?
Post by: jonm on August 08, 2012, 11:13:11 AM

I need to swap the barrel on my savage. I have the wrench but no vise. Anyone have one I can use for a couple of minutes?

That being said, we need to start a tool rental thread.

You might try a guy in Omaha named Ron Miller.   Phone: 402 393-4536.

Ron chambers and threads raw factory barrel blanks into 6mm PPC.    [6mm PPC shooters support their sport by the money they save on targets.   They just shoot through the same hole, over and over and over.]

Ron lives over by Canfields.   Has a full machine shop.   Very approachable individual and a real craftsman at what he does.

Either he will do the work or will know of someone who does.

Thanks for the tip but I was looking to do the work myself. The joy of the Savage barrel nut is there is no gunsmith necissary.
