Any advice on how to get a muzzle break off by myself? I don't have a barrel vise and don't want to take it to a gun smith…
Thanks!

Do you have a regular vise?
Does it have any type of thread locker (Rocksett, LocTite, etc.) on it?
If you have a regular vise, you can make a non-marring block with a chunk of hardwood, a saw and a drill, or you can go to Harbor Freight or Northern Tool and get non-marring jaws for your vise to hold the gun.
If it has Rocksett holding it on, you will need to soak it for a bit in hot water (I use boiling and soak for 10 minutes). If it has red loctite or similar, you will need some heat on it to break it free.
I think you will be inviting trouble, even with non marring jaws. What barrel/brake is it? Is the barrel off the action?

I would try heating with a hair drier if loc-tite was used it might help. If you have a bench vise wrap barrel with an old belt and CAREFULLY tighten to hold it.

When "ALL" else fails……hack…! 
Most will object venomously, but if it were my rifle……it's "outta here", by whatever means necessary!
