I've been considering re-barreling a Ruger #3. One of the books I've been reading recommends modifying a barrel vice to allow clearance for the hangar bar. It is recommended that a cut-out be made something like this:
Here is the action & hangar:
The book also says that you can only rotate 1/8 turn then loosen the vice & re-adjust. Can't you just make some shims & clamp past the hangar? For those that have rebarrels #1's or #3's are they tough to get off? Also any suggestions on the action wrench?
TIA...
