The two items below is all you would need. I use all of them often for upper, lower and barrel work. The only thing I have never tried to remove is a stubborn muzzle device.

I don't know of any lower receiver vise blocks or upper receiver vise blocks that can hold both 5.56 and .308 receivers.
I'm pretty sure you have to go all in on specific vise blocks for each caliber. Edit: And the post above proves me wrong on the upper.

Thanks for the suggestion had not heard of them before.
Looks good only thing I'm not a fan of is having to loosen and tighten the vice each time when going horizontal. |

There are a few upper ones, the Odin I mentioned does both but needs to be flipped over, its aluminum but relies just on the pins to hold it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah the lower I haven't seen yet, thought maybe someone would make one that is 1 piece but can be flipped over with different sizes. There are a few upper ones, the Odin I mentioned does both but needs to be flipped over, its aluminum but relies just on the pins to hold it. |

Cause they've had a dual-use upper vise block set for.....shit, at least 6 years now cause I got mine 6 years ago. link |

The JP looks nice like the magnets would make it easier to clamp in.

I've been using one of these for quite a while for upper builds. Not quite as nice as say a reaction rod but they work. Never had any issues after many barrel nuts installed.

Nothing fancy but they work. The only real torquing you are doing on a lower anyways is the castle nut. |

Brownells has a very good AR15 vice block combo with the upper block and insert (important for rigidity), and the lower (magazine) block. Combo is about $60 if I recall.
I believe they have a separate kit for the AR10. This has served me well for a long time. No receiver block is acceptable, however, for working on the muzzle end of the rifle (muzzle devices). Just wrap a strip of leather around the barrel as close to the muzzle threads as possible and grip it there in your vice. Grip it hard, you'll not hurt the barrel. You just want to protect the finish. You'll never had to worry about damaging the receiver. |
