All it takes is a couple of pieces of hardwood with a V notch cut in each. I use a couple of clamps but you can put them in a vice as well. Baking soda and flour for rosin.

Edit: For a rocksett muzzle device, you might have to soak it in water over night. Had one that was impossible to remove without soaking. |

They work well, I have had them for years  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I will have to check those out, Wheeler makes great stuff In the past 20 years, I have bought 4 Wheeler items, and they all sucked. Glad you are having better luck. I bought aluminum jaws from Brownell's, and they have done everything I've asked of them. If I clamp on a blued, or black barrel, I just use a couple layers of paper. Never hurt the finish. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I tried wood blocks, fancy aluminum blocks with inserts, leather with rosin, and on one of mine had to dremel it off. Lots of carbon has kinda welded it. https://live.staticflickr.com/1593/24178422889_6bc7ae5d86_b.jpgDSC_5812 by FredMan, on Flickr Your Dremel skills are exquisite sir.

LOL, well I will remember that on the jaws! I am still using the no-mar with success |

I prefer a 'reaction rod' for muzzle device work.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Actually a poor choice for removing muzzle devices unless it has the rib on top a la the MI version. Nah. Been using a geissele super for years without issue. If you have something over torqued or unknown the potential is there with other variants, sure. Proper use goes a long way. ymmv |

I have yet to need to soak anything with Rocksett and remove them pretty often....I fully expect to run into a problem now lol.
I have a set of aluminum ones that hold strong but cannot find where I bought them. I have had them for years. |

Nah. Been using a geissele super for years without issue. It only takes one time with a stuck MD and an undertorqued extension, or soft index pin. It is always best to clamp the barrel for MD work. |

 Attached FileI think I got these from Amazon. I’ve removed and installed a few muzzle devices. For the price I think they’re worth having. I often clamp a rifle by the hand guard for scope installation type things with no worry of scratching it up. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Have a set of yellow ones like that, didn't work well for me for muzzle work. Possibly due to the yellow being a bit softer as I know those are made in different densities. Needless to say I use them all time for holding all sorts of things. Mine are a little softer than I’d like them to be, too. I still use them more often than I use the vise without them. |
