Any suggestions or referrals for a good solid block at a good price?

Others here may disagree, but I do not use a lower receiver block...
Get a nice piece of heavy leather to cover your vice jaws, and you can clamp on the magwell. Don't over tighten. If I really have to get nasty with a lower (locktighted or strongly staked castle nut for example) I have a piece of wood that I sanded and cut to fit into the magwell to give it extra support... - AG |
| I have been using the DPMS panther claw for about 5 years............My buddy is an Air Force Armorer and they use the clamshell set up from brownells...........Its the unit that clamps around the upper and another piece slides in to prevent crushing................when the unit is in the vice........... |

Worked fairly well except for one barrel that I couldn't torque right. The first thing I bought when I moved into a house was install a vise in the garage. I bought the vise block kit from Bravo Co, it is marked Model-1 Sales. Works fine and I have built 5 more rifles with no problems. |
