| Can an action block be used to R & R a flash supressor? Or is that asking for trouble and barrel vice blocks are required? |
Have to consult with my carpenter type brother-in law.
| I used my action block to take mine off, it wasnt too hard but i would suggest a barrel vise over a action block because the barrel may tighten or loosen inside of the receiver, just anough to misallign the gas tube and mess it up. MY 2 CENTS< GET A BARREL VISE. |

I may have to talk to my father-in-law about some hardwood blocks. He does all the carpentry work. I like the mechanical stuff. He loves it when people give him litte projects that he can knock out in a few minutes.  **EDIT** I just realized my bench vise has pipe jaws on the bottom of it. (just flip the head) Looks like it's the "wrap in leather" route for me next time.

Drill a hole through a block of wood, then cut the block in two down the length of the drilled hole. voila. (my first set of barrel blocks, now I have some aluminum ones as well) |
I am dazzled by the simplity. That I can handle with the drill press and chopsaw.
