    Default Anyone know of a Ruger Mk 2/3 experienced gunsmith in PA?

    I have a barreled Mk3 receiver that I want to disassemble, and I don't have the tools to do it.

    I tried whipping up a quick barrel vise and action wrench, but my improvised barrel vise starts slipping before I get to the necessary level of torque (which seems outrageous).

    Maybe there's a gunsmith somewhere in PA who has the proper equipment to do this?

    Can't help with the name of a Ruger savy gunsmith, but I agree that the barrel/receiver removal torque is very, very high.

    Thanks,
