So you want to build your upper but dont have a vice nor place to install it... This is a good idea for the less fortunate members that don't have a garage/shop or live in an apartment  Look at my kitchen aisle.  Look what happens when the wife is not home.  Every home must have a solid top like a kitchen aisle or fixed cabinet. Mount the vice (5") with screws & nuts in a piece of wood like this (screw heads lay inside relieve holes so the bottom surface remains flat):  Solidly mount the whole fixture in the top with C clamps.  Easy! This way I've built my 3 AR's and had done other few rail and bbl jobs for friends. This fixture withstands much more than the required torque to tighten a bbl nut. Just put a towel under the vice and the wife will never notice  This is an idea for a long gun maintenance station. I did this "modular" stand with 6x1 and 4x1 white wood boards from Home Depot.    The AR upper "fixture" is a Schuster MGF upper receiver holder screwed to a piece of 4x1 wood.  I use this stand for my AK's also and it will hold for maintenance my IMI Galil AR soon

I have a drill press and a miter saw stored in a closet. Believe me, I want to have my "space" but I live in a beach villa with an open garage. For now this kitchen aisle is my gun bench. |
