I use the upper and lower blocks from plastixrevolution.net and the V groove vise jaws to work on barrels (muzzle devices). I have used and own many different brands of blocks and barrels blocks but these seem to be all I use now. Make sure you clean the barrel with alcohol before using the soft jaw vise blocks. I have not had a barrel twist yet but I also have not tried to remove a stubborn muzzle device.

i use the wheeler block, but the magpul bev seems to be a great option too as it holds the barrel extension

Do NOT use an upper block to do muzzle device work. Get a set of soft jaws for your vice, clamp the barrel in the soft jaws, and then do your muzzle device.

It is perfectly fine to use a set of blocks that clamp the upper on both sides or top and bottom. It is ill advised to use a block that only pins the upper to a vise, allowing the upper to be twisted. Using a reaction rod or clamping the barrel is a little more idiot proof, but when used properly, blocks work well. Some scrap pieces of maple make great soft jaws for barrel work. |

Not one to ever be the grammar or spelling police. I make way to many mistakes.
Forgive me, guys. But it is "vise" with an s. "Vice" with a c is a word to describe sin or wrongdoing, or a law enforcement branch or department. (Vice Squad, Miami Vice, etc.) Found myself doing this. On the topic: I wrap the barrel with a strip of leather close to the muzzle and grip it hard, really hard in a bench vise. |
