Gunsmithing AIAW barrel change kit vise used

[beenjammin]

Ok so I got my action wrench and now im looking into barrel vises. Does anyone use the hydraulic vise from brownells. it looks to be the easiest. One lever and dont have to worry about making sure all the bolts are even? Or am i wrong?

Its just seems faster and easier and not very expensive really.

Then there is the matter of a bushing or block. Wood or aluminum. It will be only for my AW so the barrels will all be thick.

Any feedback appreciated.

some leather or lead and you should be able to use similar without dicking up the finish on the barrel, I havent had one slip yet, but you never know
