Clamp barrel (with softjaws) in your vise. Use wrench and turn till it is tight. There is no reason to really lean on it, just get it farmer-tight. The barrel goes into the receiver at only 19 foot pounds, so that should tell you a lot.

Just curious, where did you find the 19 foot pound specification? From the factory, the nut on mine was not much more than finger tight. When I have removed and reinstalled after heavy duty cleanings, I am reinstalling at about 80 inch pounds, and it has been holding fine.
