Those look like they might have too much give for my liking. To be honest, about 30 squares back I made some jaw covers from muffler tube. It seems to do the job, covers the aggressive diamonds in the jaws and is smooth metal so it doesn't give. I too have a big vise...second biggest they had at house of tools... I was hoping to get the big one like we had on the five ton wrecker front bumper. I think you'll be OK next try...
I always put a drill bit shank in the tube place so is no squishing of the spring tube hole slot
That's good...Quote:

Thanks Jim, thoughts are a coming.
A good nite to you!

I sold an original wrench and it had a cheater bar.
I don't know if back then they considered breaking apart a barrel/receiver that had been together 70+ years.

Hey Jim,
I'm missing that bottom notch that would catch the receivers trigger housing lug.
Big advantage having that!
All on hold right now, can barely stand up.... And I know better :banghead:
Currently 2 problems,
#1 Want to get in done
#2 BY FAR THE WORSE: Having the wife giving me 'The Look' :nono:
Thx Guys
Charlie
P.S. No mention in the TM's about penetrating oil. Makes your point about us 70 years later
That's what I was eluding to, a snipe...it makes magic out of a tough situation.Quote:

A bottle jack makes it much easier.
Honestly though I can't say how much I appreciate ya'lls help and encouragement.
Hoppes #9 is flowing thru almost as fast as I can fill it. It has also pulled a ton of dirty soot/carbon with it as it washes down to a catch pan. That had to of been caked in the receiver and barrel threads.
Should have done this before my first attempt.
Thx,

We'll be watching. This should be easy next time. Take it easy until then, we'll be here...
It worries me that it "creaked" and moved 1/16" - then stopped. I hope the threads aren't galled - don't know if that's common on barrels and receivers, but I know from experience it is not fun to deal with. - Bob
