Nice machine vise you got there MK18.
I've seen a great many machine vises over the years though I can't remember ever seeing one used as a dedicated bench vise. Looks like a good one too.
All of these responses and almost none of them pertain to the OP's actual situation. Please refrain from posting if you do not have current 1st hand knowledge of what KAC is using on their current production SR-15s. The Brownells' wrench I posted is the tool KAC uses, confirmed by Jack, and is the best tool to remove the circular, dimpled style RE nuts. I will say good job on posting vise setups, this is just as important as using the right wrench.
I'd cut thew off with a dremel Wheel short way. Stop before you break through to the tube and use a screwdriver to twist twist cap in two.. and there ya go! Cheers.. Rom
Ain't no pockets on a shroud..
Yeaahhhh.
I just picked out the pertaining advice and left the rest, thank you all who responded appropriately to this thread, your advice is greatly appreciated. I find it funny that KAC says they don't apply a thread locker to the threads, as there is SOMETHING on the threads that appears as a darker/clear fluid than the gray colored extension itself. This runs halfway up the exposed threads. Perhaps its whatever rust inhibitor/lube that KAC uses that smells like burned hair?
Once I find time I will attack the nut with all of the hints and tips acquired in this thread.

Now that the nut is trashed just use a pipe wrench. Why are you tearing this rifle apart anyway? I thought they were perfect.
