    I use two very thin pieces of dense cardboard, like the backing from legal pads, cut to fit my 4 inch vise jaws. The jaws of my vise are relatively smooth with only a slight texture. Remove the grip and clamp the flat sides of the grip boss. You can get the vise jaw flush against the top edge and very close to the forward edge of the boss. It can be clamped very tight as this area is very solid. That gives you plenty of room to work around the castle nut with no interference of the receiver end-plate, castle nut or receiver ext. tube. The cardboard prevents damage to the finish. This method allows me to apply some serious torque to remove very tight nuts and gives very good feedback when tightening.

    On second thought, you may want to get a heavier vise for torquing the barrel not. I just snapped the head "Shop Fox" installing a barrel. I've installed several use yhe vise without problems, but this time was "no bueno".. I ordered a replacement as it's just too useful to be without one, but I'll pickup a heavier one for barrel nut jobs..

    How do you use a reaction rod to install a receiver extension?

    That just seems to be most people's answer to anything these days.
