Check the Marketplace for Pa.Patriot. He was making some very nice ones as well as some other FAL tools. Good guy to deal with.

Absolutely PA Patriot.

Once you get it bolted to the bench, you can twist off the threads of the barrel.

That is unless you have it mounted to a plate that fits into a receiver hitch. Then you will roll your truck with it sitting still.

The nice thing about this vise, you can use different bushings available from Brownell's.

Sooooo, ya want to rebarrel that M1Garand??????
Buy different bushings, receiver wrench, your good to go.

Better order quick, he's been a bit busy with some other things & it may be a couple of weeks before he can get one to you. But as stated, you can't find a better one for the price. Brownell's is more expensive & a similar design.
