Birchwood Casey Vise Block — For AR-15 Lower Receiver (Model LOWRVISE-BLOCK | UPC 888151039021)

Build, maintain, and upgrade your AR with confidence. The Birchwood Casey Vise Block for AR-15 Lower Receivers secures your stripped or assembled lower safely in a bench vise so you can install parts, torque components, and perform routine maintenance without crushing, marring, or twisting the receiver. Whether you’re a first-time builder or a seasoned armorer, LOWRVISE-BLOCK delivers the stable, square workholding you need for professional results at home.

Why This AR-15 Vise Block Belongs on Your Bench

• Secure, Damage-Reducing Workholding: Supports the receiver from inside the magwell, distributing clamping force so you can wrench on parts without ovalizing or scuffing the lower.

• Fits Most Mil-Spec AR-15 Lowers: Optimized for AR-15 pattern lowers that accept standard STANAG magazines (forged or billet—check fit).

• Fast, Foolproof Setup: Slide the block into the magazine well, seat the lower, and clamp the block (not the receiver) in your bench vise—no exotic fixtures required.

• Gunsmith-Grade Stability: Helps keep the receiver square and level for precise trigger installs, bolt catch work, mag release swaps, buffer tube alignment, and more.

• Rugged, Shop-Ready Construction: Built to handle frequent installs and removals, cleaning sessions, and torque cycles typical of AR builds.

What You Can Do with LOWRVISE-BLOCK

• Lower Parts Kit Installs: Trigger group, safety selector, bolt catch, mag release, takedown pins, and detents—without chasing springs across the room.

• Receiver Extensions (Buffer Tubes): Align, torque, and stake castle nuts with the receiver held solidly in place.

• Grip & Trigger Upgrades: Maintain perfect alignment for grips and drop-in or cassette-style triggers.

• Cleaning & Inspection: Secure the lower for detailed scrubs and visual checks after high-round-count range days.

• Accessory & Ambi Controls: Add ambidextrous safeties, magazine releases, and enhanced controls with both hands free.

Pro tip: Mark a tiny witness line on the castle nut and end plate after staking. Using a vise block makes staking cleaner and more repeatable.

Step-By-Step: Using Your AR-15 Vise Block

1. Verify Unloaded: Remove magazine and visually/physically check the chamber (if upper is attached).

2. Insert the Block: Slide the vise block into the magwell until fully seated.

3. Clamp the Block: Place the block (not the receiver) in your bench vise and tighten until secure.

4. Perform Work: Install or service parts with proper tools and torque specs.

5. Remove & Inspect: Release the vise, pull the block from the magwell, and confirm function.

Safety & Best Practices

• Always unload and separate upper/lower when possible before work.

• Use the right tools: Roll-pin starters, punches, and torque drivers prevent part and finish damage.

• Follow torque values for receiver extensions and accessories; use thread locker/staking where specified.

• Protect finishes: Add painter’s tape around high-risk areas (bolt catch ears) when driving pins.

Compatibility Notes

• Platform: AR-15 pattern lowers with standard magazine wells.

• Not for AR-10/DPMS/SR-25 or pistol-caliber lowers with non-standard magwells (use model-specific blocks).

• Billet lowers: Some billet profiles may be tighter/looser; test fit before heavy torque operations.

Care & Maintenance

• Wipe Clean: Remove oil/solvent after use to maintain friction in the vise jaws.

• Store Flat: Keep in a drawer or tool roll; avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents.

• Inspect: Check for wear on contact surfaces and replace if excessively worn.
