Urbanrifleman Barrel Vise

[urbanrifleman]

The first cut of the URB barrel vise. We revised the Great Scott to lower the profile. Also, the hex bolts will be captured from the bottom so they can easily be replaced if they wear out (which they can).

The new price will be $65 shipped.

THIS IS THE UNFINISHED PROTOTYPE.

Looks good. That will be a great addition to your store.

Always looking for ideas.

A good rear entry action wrench to go along with the vise.
And the boys will need something to index the lug when they screw the new barrel on..
I've got the great Scott vise and you won't find anything better to take a factory Rem barrel off for the first time after the factory installed it. Doesn't mark them up.

This will be one heck of a barrel vise!

Larry's design is one of the best on the market.

To that effect, the actual working guts of the vise is still the original Great Scott, all I did was lower the profile and make the bolts replaceable. The object was to keep the price lower. I see no down side to the lower profile.

I am checking on that now. I wanted to make a port entry wrench, but I am not sure my supplier has any interest.

The port entry wrenches are ok, but some actions like the mac Evo have a small port and they won’t work. A rear entry bar should work on more actions.

BUTTTT will it remove a Factory Tikka barrel ??? lol

Nice and the price is right! Is it a 2 bolt or 4 bolt vice?. I had to get a 4 bolt for Tikka barrels.

Larry said the trick to removing tough barrels is to capture the recoil lug. That is why he designed it the way he did. He told me he probably broke down a 1000 Rem 700s over the years. He would buy them and sell the parts.

Ok, thanks…but is it 2 or 4 bolt? Tikkas don’t have a Remington type lug.

It's a two bolt.

Although I think the material bends before the bolts stretch. I do know my Larry Scott with two bolts is stronger than my Davidson that had 4 bolts.

Don't even see how you could turn a profit at that price.

Stainless or aluminum? jd

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that American businesses CAN COMPETE with Chinese unfair trade practices if given a chance.

The firearms industry is one of the only "protected" industries left in America. And the firearms indstrusty is FILLED with great companies making products and even driving down prices.

(I'm going to soap box here for a sec). Just keep in mind, importing products ONLY benefits the importer and the seller.

When you create industry everyone in the community around it benefits. After we get moving to Cushing it is my plan to expand production. For what? Don't know yet. God will show us.

 

[urbanrifleman]

Stainless or aluminum? jd

It's aluminum.

 

[jds holler]

I think your price - especially shipped - is great.
I want to get in line for whenever they're available. jd

When I got my vise from Larry there was a handwritten note with it that said " call me before you try to use it". I gave him a call and had a good chat with him. He gave me tips and pointers on how to use his vise from his experience pulling Remington barrels.. It takes a good rear entry wrench to use it. He used a Holland and recommended it to me. My memory is getting pretty fuzzy but I seem to remember ackleyman posting a ton of good pictures of him using it.

Talks have begun for a rear entry wrench.
