AR-15 RECEIVER MAGAZINE WELL VISE BLOCKS Reviews & Ratings

When building or performing maintenance on AR-15 carbines, there are some elements of the lower receiver that require the proverbial "third hand" to complete, frustrating first-time and experienced AR aficionados alike. With this Magazine Well Vise Block, now you have your third hand! Each AR-15 Magazine Well Vise Block can be clamped into a user's workbench vise, allowing users to insert their lower receiver onto the exposed section of the block for a solid, secure working point. The block itself is made from injection-molded polymer and is made in the USA. The unit is designed for use with mil-spec AR-15/M16 lower receivers only.

Works.

This magazine vice block fits my Bushmaster XM15E2S rifle. Has a little play in it, but it works.

Essential bundle

I purchased an AR gun smithing bundle from Real Avid that includes the torque wrench, 4 wrenches, upper receiver lug lock, and pivot pin tool. I saw the price and the first thing I did was return my previous purchase on amazon of other tools and was able to save a huge chunk of change. Brownells has a deal that a gun owner cannot refuse. I was able to use my tools a number of times and all are excellent quality. High end tools for a bargain.

Simple yet effective

Locks in and holds your AR rifle/lower. I like how it has a ledge that overlaps vise jaws for more stability.

beefy

beefy, like it. great for my bench vice. busted a much flimsier one that came in a "kit".

Holds some rifles well

Holds the gun pretty well, some receivers I tried did not lock into the block but it still held them good enough to get what I needed done.

Works ok but...

My lower would not "lock in" like it was supposed to. It held it great regardless, and certainly was helpful in the building of my lower. Tried it on a friends and it wouldn't lock in on his either.
