It is brand new. Wrenching it alone didn't move it. I set my torque wrench to 100 and it came off with a bit of effort

According to wrenching 'old knowledge', you're not supposed to use a torque wrench to loosen anything. Only tighten. Supposedly you'll hurt the wrench...Only thing I can think of, is bouncing on the torque wrench to get something off. That could break something. Big rachet or breaker bar is preferred.
How did you break the vise?Comment

Heat that thing up and use hot gloves.

OP.. Just a word of advice though...
If it starts to melt, you're doing it wrong...

I was able to get it off last night after heating it up, thanks guys.
I had not noticed but I had also damaged my ejection port door, and had to order another one last night. That was another 12 or so bucks down the drain.
I will post picks of the vice and upper when I get around to finishing it._______________________________________________

Why was the upper receiver unsatisfactory in the first place?Comment

Nothing was wrong with upper its a very clean forging and anodizing job.
But I have a couple matched Mega sets that I need to use. The upper lined up and fit the lower perfect, I even thought of just using but Mega uses some kind of different anodizing becuase Mega forgings are really dark.
So yes the not matching bugs me, I just hope I can keep from dropping it on the carpet
