reconbob Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 How do you retract the grip mount? By tightening the nut? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Bob, yes it is tightened down. It is a copy of a Richardson receiver vise with the difference being instead of bolting on the grip bar puller to the vise it has been welded on. A drill and an angle grinder could be used to convert it to the Richardson version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 The vise and heavy duty wrench are brand new and have not been used. They are both as received from Mohawk64 and are excess to my current wants and needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reconbob Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I realize I am drifting away from the barrel vise...but I looked at the videoand it looks like a M1921 Colt receiver had had a smooth barrel fitted somewherealong the way? I could not see any fins on the barrel.... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMG28 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Bob, Yes, it had a Stevens late 1928 replacement barrel with WWII Type 4 comp and sight somehow glued in place. May be loctite, but we have no idea when it was installed. Nate plans to get a Colt profile replacement barrel from PK. I dont know whether PK has repro type 1 comps as well.
