Maybe flex, maybe not. Just be sure and film it the first time you use it so at least you have a submission for Rob Dyrdek's show. |

I have the same vice I got on pre-order. It is nice especially with the QR dove tail mounted to my bench and another to use at the range. But You can'y really use flat bar stock you need square tubbing or channel to clear the nuts than mount the QR dovetail.

I made a barrel vise from a piece of firewood. I tried pine but it wouldn't clamp tight enough. Almond wood is harder and did the trick. I know it's crude, but it worked great for installing a new barrel on my M1 Garand. I already had the harbor Freight 20 ton press and the large Crescent wrench so my total outlay for the vise was zero! I had to rent a pull through finish reamer and a set of headspace gauges to complete the job.

Here it is going thru 3/4 ply plus a metal layer under the wood work surface

How thick is your mounting surface total? 3/4" + metal? Nice setup StanCo |

Tools for barrel install
3/4” deck is used for mounting rails into, so my various presses, can slide on and off. The rails are the gold things.
Below that deck is a 12 gauge steel plate that sits on 1/2” ply. Those make up the total thickness. The main reason other than make things strong, is that it dampens vibration for my scale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You don't need nuts when you have tapped holes.

My hitch looks like yours only it's homemade. Instead of the steel baseplate mine is a chunk of aluminum. After work I will try and take a picture.

We'll thats smart - although I don't think it is going to work for the guys cutting board idea.. lol..
What thickness of plate did you use and do you remember the tap size? I would not mind saving some space over my Channel

Thanks Lynn!
ahaha, as for the cutting boards, i was gonna use 2 of them, stacked, roughly 1" thick each, bamboo. Drill and bolt the base down on it and use a few table clamps. My workbench is roughly 2" thick. i think the cutting boards can handle it...but the clamps...not too sure. Either way, i have no way of finding out unless i change barrels, and that won't be for a long time. the setup works fine for my reloading press, but that's much less force/energy. Question: If i were to drill and perhaps tap a 2" steel hitch, what type of bit is recommended? I have bits for wood and a couple cheap Sears power drills, but steel is tough. |

@Diver, @Randall, @Lynn for the SAC barrel vise, for an M24/M40 profile, the shank is 1.200" but it's tapered, do you still use the 1.200" insert?
looking at M24/M40 profiles, doesn't look like there's a "Flat" shank, looks tapered all the way to the muzzle. Is the insert tapered too? Bought some carbide bits for drilling steel. Last edited by DDRH; 03-27-2019 at 11:46 AM.. |

I would think SAC should sell one if they are selling the vises. Most people with lathes just make their own.

Sac sells most of the common sizes and tapers. I have the entire kit but really only use 2 for my riles..

So I got the barrel vise...I thought it came with mounting bolts. My bolt/screw/nut/thread knowledge is limited.
Can you guys recommend what type of bolt and nuts to use? Washer size? @Diver Did you use washers for the mounting bolts (top side of vise mount)? What I mean is, are there washers under that bolt inside the mounting holes? If so what recommended size? Links to bolts, nuts, washers would be great thanks! |

Buy the largest bolt that will fit. The plate might be setup for allen socket cap screws. In that case, you would want to get allen socket head cap screws. No matter what bolts/washers/nuts you need, www.mcmaster.com has it.

I don’t have the size off the top of my head, but it is the same size as the clamping bolt. You need to buy the length that works for your mounting surface and yes put a large washer below the mounting surface only, between the mounting surface’s button and the nut. The cap head (Allen) need to be below the surface of the QR Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

@LynnJr I was able to return the plated trailer hitch and will be getting the straight 2" bar. I bought some Carbide bits: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00...KIKX0DER&psc=1 @Diver You mean washer on the nut side? So no washer needed on the bolt side? Attached photo is the bolt and nuts from McMaster, correct bolt and nuts? One more question: Which washer do I choose? There are so many on McMaster, I don't know which one is correct and what inside diameter? Thanks again! Last edited by DDRH; 04-07-2019 at 4:12 PM.. |

If you need a washer, use the same size washer as the bolt. Bolts will be smaller than nominal and washers will be larger than nominal. So for example, say you need 3/8" bolts. You would use 3/8" washers. I would drill and tap that steel bar and not run washers or a nut. Simply tighten the bolts into the steel bar.

No washers under the cap head and dovetail~ two shown, first there is not enough width and the extra height would not let the vice slide in cleanly. The cap heads are the same size and thread pitch as the clamping bolt that cam with your vice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

What exact size are the screws? 3/8"? 1/2"? Coarse or fine thread?

Seems so much simpler and then you don't need such long bolts or nuts on the bottom or to drill holes all the way through 2" of bar.

i actually got this trailer hitch mount: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The other one was solid steel, woulda been a helluva time drilling that. Bought the bolts and nuts. Description says the flange nuts didn't need washers. think i got all the tools needed (except the action wrench - brownells - for a factory 700 receiver and barrel.). But this will be enough for me to switch PVA barrels for my Nucleus and Archimedes action. |

Can you guys recommend some anti-seize or high temp lube (automotive) grease for the threads?
for my ARs, used some high temp. automotive grease on the bbl extensions. can i use the same one? it's red in color. forgot what brand, bough a tube from Walmart years back. |

Mount it the right wayr the barrel will hit the bumper. Don't ask how I know that.

That is plenty long. Make sure you mount it so the barrel is parallel to the bumper.
I mounted a press to my hitch as well and you would be shocked how much you can move a truck up and down full length sizing brass

Nice setup 2shotjoe.
Anyone use Lucas Red N' Tacky grease with anti seize? https://m.lowes.com/pd/lucas-oil-pro...BoCVGAQAvD_BwE I've used it for a few AR15 upper assembly. Barrel extension and on threads on the receiver. Any issues using this for bolt rifles? |
