I have a bushmaster with a flash hider that I would like to remove. It’s attached with rocksett. I have tried building water and heat. Nothing yet. Any recommendations for a barrel vise that will hold the barrel without marring it. My vise with rubber blocks is not doing the trick.

A true barrel vise is the ideal answer but for occasional use, oak blocks in a heavy bench vise will normally work. I take an oak block and drill a hole in it that is slightly smaller than the barrel diameter then saw the block in half through the drilled hole. Some powdered rosin will let the blocks get a good grip on the barrel.

If the wood blocks are not tight, shim with brown paper bag and cornstarch is rumored to do as well as rosin.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

If you haven't done so you need to research how to loosen up the Rockset. I don't think there is a vice on the market that will take off a flash hider once the Rockset has permanently set until it gets softened up.

Yes. I have tried boiling water, soaked in water overnight and the torch. But my rubber clamps just don’t grab. That stuff it terrible.

Short action customs has a nice vise. It’s fairly expensive though.
