You don't need a barrel vice to remove a brake.

What if it is stuck from not being serviced?
I have seen some I have had to use heat. Carbon delaminates with heat. Best to ask the barrel maker. Larry

According to the makers this stuff it's supposed to be stronger and stiffer than steel....and you are worried about putting it in a vice. If it's that fragile I wouldn't want it as a barrel.

The issue is twisting the steel core and breaking the bond between the CF and steel. That may have already happened on the install. It's very easy to make one go snap crackle pop

Is the brake screwed onto the barrel?

Mr.Tooley that's what I am worried about,don't want to see a grown man cry.

Yes

 

[JRS]

Yes

Tell your friend to unscrew it. If the rifle is new, it should be simple to remove it, as long as he turns it in the correct direction.

Doesn't the barrel have a steel section at each end? If so, can't you clamp onto that?

Lefty loosy righty tightly right.I will try it before he puts it in the vise,I told him to grab some soft grip pliers from the depot.

Doesn't the brake contain holes/slots? Use a punch or screwdriver to remove it. Slide the tool through the brake and unscrew it. No need to grasp it on the outside and foul-up the finish.

If you can pit a punch all the way through the brake a and give it a firm hammer blow on the punch . If you have help have someone apply press in the loose direction and then hit the punch . Works like a air gun they have a hammer in them . Good luck Larry

From what I see on their website, there's only about a 1/4" of steel on the muzzle end.

This will work, also put the barreled action in a vise and put the punch thru the muzzle break, if it turns strong enough to unthread the barrel from the action, you'll be half way on your way to making it better

You only made the problem get bigger . How do you put the barrel back on? Larry
