Barrel Vise For Desert Tech

[Thor2j]

Can anybody recommend a barrel vise/block for DTA barrels. Trying to get their Brake off and need something sturdy.

Thanks

Barrel make has nothing to do with it. The od of whatever part you're trying to hold is what matters. Measure the od, get some oak wood and drill a hole smaller than the od. Cut in half and smash it tight in the vise and you're set.

Hi,

Can you not get the brake off with the barrel still in the receiver?
Just clamp the rifle in any benchtop vise and use wrench to take brake off.

Sincerely,
Theis

I'll try again but I heated it and everything and it didn't want to budge.

I use a Bald Eagle to perform barrel swaps, there $35-$40 bucks and Im sure they would hold tight enough to get the brake off your barrel.

Heat it until some smoke comes out from the threadlocker melting. You won't hurt anything.

Boil a pot of water and stick the brake and barrel end into it for a couple minutes. (Once the brake is off, dry the barrel and add a light coat of oil.)

If the boiling water doesn’t work, it’s loctite red for sure, but I think a step between “gorilla strength” and “blowtorch” is a good idea
