Blocks of scrap wood cradling the barrel in the vice jaws have worked for me fine in a pinch if you wanna be poor.

Do you have upper receiver vice blocks?

If you're worried about tweaking the upper, I believe Magpul makes a block that fits into the barrel extension.

Y'all need to come over to the Magpul BEV Block side.

I have an aluminum set they mark the living shit out of the barrel no matter how tight. I have been using the reaction rod for the past few years, it awesome and the only way to do upper work.

If you don't have a set of Forstner bits get one. They're one of those "why did I wait so long to buy this" tools. Drill a barrel sized hole in block of wood. Saw the block in half.

Got one. I was under the impression that for muzzle devices it was better to get something that actually grips the barrel though and not putting stress/extra torque on the barrel nut/extension. Am I mistaken? If so, that would be great that I could just use the BEV block then. I've had some aluminum barrel blocks for years; I wrap the barrel in leather first. Haven't used them a whole lot since I got the BEV block though. Hardwood with rosin will work fine as well. |

Same here. Reaction rod works well. YMMV. Quote HistoryQuoted:
