I'm looking for a vice block to remove/install muzzle devices. What's the best one going for this purpose? Thanks! My policy is to use a strip of leather around the barrel, then clamp very tight in a bench vise. It helps if you degrease the barrel and the leather beforehand. I tried a cheapo aluminum block, but it didn't work as well. BTW, I prefer to tighten my flash hiders only enough to keep them from coming loose. If I want to "clock" them to a certain angle, I take off a few thousandths from the bottom of the crush washer rather than torque the muzzle device gorilla tight. That way, I can occasionally take the device off with minimal effort to clean the crown. Many shooter don't realize fouling collects under the FH/brake which eventually causes corrosion when mixed with copper remover. - CW |
