    Pretty much everything was covered but I will add that if you use aluminum barrel blocks and have a spinning issue take a rag get it wet and install between the barrel and aluminum blocks. This will eliminate most spinning issues.

    Bah, who needs a pipe wrench when you have a lathe?

    If you have a pinned-on front sight base, get some 1/4" thick leather and wrap the FSB in that like a taco.
    Put that in the bench vise and lock it down.
    That will hold the barrel just fine for removal and installation of a muzzle device.
