In the Market for a Barrel Vise

[Jersey Devil]

I finally started setting up my work bench in our new house, and am now in the need for my very own barrel vise. I need a vise that can be used to install standard, medium, and heavy M14 and M1 Garand barrels.

I really would like an Al Story setup, but I can't find one for sale at the moment.

Any ideas???

Have you hit up PFC Thomas?
I don't know exactly what he has because I'm not big on the tool part of the addiction but I figured if he did the run of wrenches he might have an extra vise.

There is a guy that makes one that is a two pc and clamps to the barrel. It is made to mount to a bench or wrench.
I found it on Ebay. Looks like the Baker action wrench.

and this for just about any other barrel type.

Thanks for the links.
I ended up going with the Al Story barrel vise. It's quite a beast!

That'll get the job done!
