Streamline your AR-15 builds, upgrades, and maintenance with the Birchwood Casey Bench Block Gray AR-15 – Model ARBENCH-BLOCK (UPC: 888151039038). Purpose-built for the AR-15 and similar modern sporting rifles, this dedicated armorer’s bench block gives every major component a secure, properly supported place during disassembly, assembly, and cleaning.
Designed with soft, non-marring jaws, an integrated magnet, and precise cutouts for key AR-15 parts, the ARBENCH-BLOCK turns any workbench or vise into a professional-grade gun shop station—perfect for home builders, armorers, and serious shooters.
AR-15 Specific Bench Block – Everything Has a Place
Unlike generic blocks, the Birchwood Casey AR-15 Bench Block is specially engineered for the AR platform and equivalent rifles:
Holds the upper receiver securely for gas block, forward assist, or ejection port work
Supports the lower receiver for trigger group, takedown pin, and buffer area work
Dedicated reliefs for the bolt carrier group (BCG), front sight, and charging handle
All arranged to give you easy access to dowel pins for installation and removal
This smart layout keeps your gun stable and correctly oriented while you drive pins, install parts, or scrub carbon—no more balancing parts on shop rags or blocks of wood.
Soft Jaw Design – Protects Your Receivers & Finish
Your AR-15 isn’t cheap—your bench tools shouldn’t chew it up. The soft jaw design of the ARBENCH-BLOCK is made specifically to protect your finish:
Non-marring material won’t scratch anodized, Cerakoted, or parkerized receivers
Gentle enough for billet and forged receivers, yet tough enough for driving stubborn pins
Lets you work with confidence on high-end builds, custom rifles, and duty guns
Whether you’re installing a new trigger or swapping a front sight base, this block keeps your parts supported and safe.
Solvent-Safe & Shop-Ready Durability
The ARBENCH-BLOCK is built to live in a real workshop, not just look good on the bench:
Solvent-safe construction won’t fade, crack, or get gummy when exposed to common gun cleaners, CLPs, and degreasers
Resistant to oils and chemicals typically used in AR-15 cleaning and maintenance
Durable polymer body stands up to repeated hammer and punch use
You can clean and service your rifle right on the block without babying your tools or worrying about damage from chemicals.
Integrated Magnet – No More Lost Pins
Tiny roll pins and detents have a bad habit of disappearing mid-project. The integrated magnet in the Birchwood Casey Bench Block helps prevent that:
Strong magnet captures pins and small parts as you drive or remove them
Keeps components from rolling off the bench or vanishing into the shop floor
Saves time, frustration, and replacement costs—especially on small AR roll pins
It’s a small feature that makes a big difference when you’re deep into a build or repair.
Clamp It in a Vise for Maximum Stability
For heavier work or when you need both hands free, the ARBENCH-BLOCK can be:
Clamped directly in a bench vise, turning it into a rock-solid receiver fixture
Positioned to give perfect access to the upper, lower, or BCG, depending on the task
Used as a stable platform for assembly, cleaning, or repair—especially useful for stubborn pins or torqued parts
This makes it a fantastic option for both home shops and professional armorers.
Ideal for Builders, Armorers & AR Enthusiasts
The Birchwood Casey AR-15 Bench Block is an essential add-on if you:
Build, assemble, or customize AR-15 rifles or pistols
Regularly install triggers, selector levers, bolt catches, and takedown pins
Work on front sight bases, gas blocks, charging handles, and bolt carrier groups
Want a more organized, professional workflow on the bench
If you’re serious about AR maintenance, this block quickly becomes one of those “how did I ever live without it” tools.
