Receipt paper, aluminum foil, fiberglass drywall tape
I used leather and it slipped. My last few I used a toilet paper roll and it did not slip. Obviously they are all torqued slightly different so not sure if the roll was “better” or the barrel was just easier to get off. But it worked.
I can send them your way next.
Please take me off the list. Was able to source tools locally.
I just read a thread about someone using brown sugar and was skeptical to say the least. I should be trying that out in the next couple of weeks if everything gets here in a timely manner. How long did you soak it?
Like 2 weeks. I put a fired case in the chamber. Then would squirt some liquid wrench in there. Trying for twice a day but atleast once every two days.
Oh, it was ranked 3rd. But cheaper and not much less effective.Like 2 weeks. I put a fired case in the chamber. Then would squirt some liquid wrench in there. Trying for twice a day but atleast once every two days.
It was on another forum but it ranked various penetrating oils. Liquid wrench was #2. #1 was a home brew. Don’t remember specifically but I think it was like acetone and tranny fluid. I opted for liquid wrench.

I planned on using liquid wrench so I already got some. If I start soaking it now it might be ready by the time my vise and barrel get here lolOh, it was ranked 3rd. But cheaper and not much less effective.
Penetrating oil tested and compared....the winner is...
got this off of another forum that I'm on. It came from the magazine listed. ome Made Rust Breaker against store Bought Machinist's Workshop magazine actually tested penetrates for break out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They are below. They arranged a subjective test of all...
What did you use to wrap the barrel with? I just changed my barrel yesterday and wrapping it with printer paper worked great. A few hits easy with a 3lb hammer broke it loose, and I didn’t soak it. Also make sure you have your barrel vice tight. I tightened my down until my viper barrel vice until it contoured the barrel.
Finally got it. Took a 4 foot breaker bar to tighten down the vise evenly. The barrel still spun. It was wrapped with brown sugar and a toilet paper roll. So I busted out a 36 inch pipe wrench and had my buddy @Bc45 pull the pipe wrench while I had the wheeler number 1 with a 4 foot breaker bar and it finally broke loose. Threads were full of the penetrating oil as well.
