I have the standard threadless barrel with no flash hider or anything so I don't have to worry about that coming off. Now since I don't have the flash hider should I still buy or make a vise jaw clamp?

I think you'll be fine. The nut is only supposed to be torqued something like 20lbs. Most folks get into trouble trying to take their flash suppressor off. Instead of using a wrench and a sharp whack to break it loose, some will try to torque it off and end up turing the barrel inside the receiver.
Suggest taking the nut off with the muzzle pointed down, then slip the upper off the barrel. Otherwise, if you're holding the receiver with the muzzle pointed up, the barrel can fall right through the receiver and the ejector may harpoon your foot.
