Psst, if you look at Brownells barrel vise, they are kind enough to give you the dimensions, thread size, and bushing diameter of the one they sell. It was very helpful in my making one at work out of scrap material during my lunch break(s).

Re: Barrel Vise's
DesertMonkey, if you can make one then great, I don't have the time or the skill.
Here's the one I bought, works great for the money, very happy with it. I cut my bushings in half so I didn't have to slide them down the length of my barrel and could leave the Badger FTE on the barrel as well. You can do it with a hacksaw or recip. saw pretty easy. I wrap a piece of a latex or nitrile glove around the barrel for grip and to prevent screwing up the finish, works great that way.
$75 - LINK
Get the one I linked to, comes with the Rem tapered bushing, some of his others don't.

for $75, i'd buy that one. i made one very similar and it has been working great for me. i started out with bolts in mine but have since switched to studs. it is working much better now.
