If you have a rail and not enough barrel showing for a barrel clamp - you need a reaction rod. I am east of you and around this weekend if you want to come buy and use mine.
If you have 6" of barrel showing and a vise - you can get the rubber orange jaws from Lowe's and clamp on the fsb (if you have one) or the barrel and try that method for ~$10.

Haven't tried it but I had considered cutting up a piece of wood to insert into beat up Pmag to give it a bit more backbone. Although the blocks are not that expensive, but if in a pinch it would work I think!
Well if it is an AAC flash hider put on by AAC using the fire breath of Satan himself, then the answer is you do not need a vice block, you need a reaction rod, anything else and you run a big risk of screwing it up. Trust me.
I also have the correct AAC tool for their flash hiders. Very important to note they are put on with RockSet. You have to soak them in water to soften the RockSet - never use heat.
Yes rockset is different it is not effected by heat. Everytime I have had to take off a AAC factory flash hider it is like they coated the entire threads in that stuff. Using a reaction rod, a AAC tool, and a 24 inch breaker bar, and soaking the barrel end in water for 2 days, the last one took me having to damn near jump on the end of the breaker bar to get it off. I have never had any problems with any other manufacture than AAC. On the other side of that coin though you could say they are built to STAY ON!
I've never had any luck soaking rocksett in water. A Mapp torch and a breaker bar seems to do the trick.
