Barrel vice

[bigjohn]

What’s a good barrel vice for occasional use? Mainly use on ar’s

I have a Wheeler barrel vise like this one and it has been fine for light-to-medium duty work.

Be prepared to get/modify extra bushings to exactly fit your barrel for best grip/best results.

what are you doing with a vice you can’t do with a MI reaction rod? Very handy, and this site reports it being in stock!

love that thing you can work at almost any angle on if need be, except barrel down.

The only way to go, a great tool to add to the "must haves"

get yourself a good Machinist 6" Vice also.

Own a G reaction rod for ar stuff and have aluminum armory blocks (6in) with bit standard barrel profile cuts for grabbing milspec ar barrels when needed. For quality bolt guns, I have a bench source machined bbl vise that works well. For factory barrel removal, usually suggest a three or four jaw chuck in the lathe with the headstock locked down.

All depends on intended use.

That looks simple enough to make. Thanks

Gotcha. Just mostly. Lol

Still, the URR is a great device to add to the tool box.
