Vise and Bench Block FAQ

Can I clamp an AR receiver straight in a bench vise?

Steel jaws can crush or mark an aluminum receiver. A vise block shaped for the receiver spreads the clamping force and protects the finish.

What is a bench block for?

It supports the frame or receiver right around a pin hole, so the part does not flex or break while you punch the pin out.
