I heard the shroud may not break free. I was planning on saw zawing off the muzzle, if i clamp the barrel in my bench vise or say a pipe wrench, will it damage the barrel under the shroud when trying to break the barrel free?

If it's going to be cut and threaded a hacksaw is the tool of choice. See the barrel removal stickie.
I am figuring on clamping the barrel in my vise and using my sawzall.. bad idea?Ahhh, no. Have to hold it steady, in order to keep the blade from binding. Move the barrel or move the blade, can't do both.
Oh, and the thirty minutes includes the time for me having to find the new blade (5 minutes), and changing it(one minute).
