Nope. Just get a normal 4" or 5" vice and mount it to a piece of 3/4" plywood with countersunk, flat head machine bolts. Once that assembly is built you can clamp it to any table top and go to work. |

how much is that total not really wanting to drop 100+ on a vise I think I paid about $45 for a 5" vice at Harbor Freight. I'm a carp so I had a piece of 3/4"x 24" x 24" plywood. A plumber's countertop cutout for a kitchen sink is a perfect base to make up a portable vice. |

Mount this on a 20mm can filled with tools. You can preform anything you need to assemble an AR. Plus, once it's removed you have storage.
Have not tried to remove a barrel with it. Yet http://www.midwayusa.com/product/511694/shop-fox-gunsmith-vise?cm_vc=2553BrandPopProd |

I have a big ass vise in the shop but I go to many shoots all year and a vise at the shoot is very handy for all to use. The Harb freight vise works fine for the back of the motor home and I can flip it to use as a place to hammer the goods if needed. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa166/redtazdog/MH/Motorhomeimprovements15w.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa166/redtazdog/MH/Motorhomeimprovements12w.jpg |

HF also sells giant 6" C-Clamps for like $5 each..  Before I mounted a vise to my reloading bench I put my upper in a brownells clamshell action block and C-clamped it to the corner of the bench. Worked like a charm. Thats a good idea. Prolly want to use a piece of wood between the vice pad and the receiver block to keep the vise from "point loading" on the receiver block. IOW, spread out the load (pressure). |
