Thank you that was my original assessment. Anyone used a hydraulic press with oak blocks in lieu of a barrel vise? We have one at work, considering cutting a v groove and sandwiching the wood blocks between steel plates prior installation on the hydraulic press. Compression is easily controlled.

I would like to remove my 308 barrel. I found the removal tools from KRG and Bugholes.com as well as using a Wheeler #1. Which tool is the best for this application? I read comments on the KRG tool type regarding possible receiver damage. I may want to reinstall the 308 barrel in the future...

Yep the "Great Carrier Reef"

Spent a few days on the eastern Sierras. Ghost town of Bodie, Tioga pass (Yosemite), Yosemite Village, Lake Crowley (Columns) Convict Lake, Mammoth Lake, June Lake. Mono Lake (tufas formations). Most enjoyable was Tioga Pass area, less crowded. We plan to return and do some hiking.
