I am starting to pick up some C&R rifles and working on them. Most of what I have done thus far hasn't needed much, but I have a 6.5 Carcano that has a loose barrel. I figured I would get a good generic barrel vise and a generic action wrench system (or something) so that I can take care of such things when they come up.
What things have you used that you liked?
I have seen a vise that someone put together using a 4 ton hydraulic car jack and some steel plates and rods. Anybody have any sort of material list and WHERE to get such things? Pre-built is easier, obviously, but making one isn't out of the question.
Anybody used the Brownell's Action Wrench system? Good? Bad? What about the heads for it? What do you use for something like the Carcano?
Sorry to ask so many questions in one post.
