Upgrade your bench setup with the TacFire Upper Receiver Vise Block AR-15/M4—a rugged, shop-ready tool designed to secure your upper receiver safely and squarely while you install barrels, muzzle devices, handguards, optics, and other accessories. Built from durable, non-marring material and precision-fit for Mil-Spec AR-15/M4 uppers, the TL009 keeps your workpiece stable so you can torque components to spec without stressing or scuffing the receiver.
Whether you’re assembling a first build or maintaining a fleet of rifles, this vise block delivers the repeatable alignment and rock-solid hold needed for professional results.
Why This Vise Block Belongs on Your Bench
Secure, Non-Marring Support
The TL009 cradles your AR-15/M4 upper in a material engineered to resist crushing and surface damage, helping prevent receiver twist, crush, or finish wear while you torque barrel nuts or install muzzle devices.
True, Torque-Friendly Alignment
By seating the receiver square in a standard bench vise, this block helps maintain coaxial alignment across the upper, barrel extension, and rail system—crucial for accuracy and long-term reliability.
Fast, Repeatable Setup
The form-fit profile drops in quickly and releases just as fast, so you can swap uppers in seconds. Streamline barrel changes, gas system work, and rail installs without re-jigging your vise every time.
Built for Busy Benches
From home shops to pro armorers, the TL009 is compact, lightweight, and tough, standing up to repeated clamping cycles, penetrant oils, and everyday shop abuse.
Key Features at a Glance
Model: TL009
UPC: 811261022577
Type: Upper Receiver Vise Block
Platform: AR-15 / M4 (Mil-Spec)
Material: Durable, non-marring polymer composite
Finish/Color: Black
Use Case: Barrel installs, muzzle device work, handguard swaps, gas system service, optics/rail alignment, cleaning & inspection
Vise Compatibility: Works with common bench vises (recommended 4"–6" jaws)
How to Use (Quick Start)
Open your bench vise wide enough to accept the block.
Place the TL009 in the vise jaws, aligning the block’s flat faces with the jaws.
Seat the AR-15/M4 upper onto the block until it rests fully and squarely.
Tighten the vise until the receiver is secure (snug, not crushing).
Perform your task: torque the barrel nut, time a muzzle device, install a handguard, or align optics.
Release and remove the upper when finished; wipe down any oils from the block.
Pro Tip: Use a quality torque wrench and follow your barrel/handguard manufacturer’s torque specs. Lightly oil contact points if needed, then wipe clean to keep friction predictable.
Benefits for Builders & Armorers
Protects your investment: Keeps anodized finishes looking new while preventing receiver damage under load.
Improves precision: Stable clamping reduces shift that can lead to canted rails or misaligned gas blocks.
Saves time: Repeatable positioning speeds up multi-upper projects.
Versatile: Equally useful for routine cleaning, part swaps, and complete upper builds.
Compatibility
Fits: Most Mil-Spec AR-15/M4 upper receivers.
Not ideal for: Proprietary large-frame AR patterns (AR-10/DPMS/SR-25, etc.) or unusual billet uppers with non-standard exterior geometries.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe with a clean, dry cloth after use.
Avoid long exposure to strong solvents; occasional contact with oils/cleaners is fine.
Store flat or upright to keep edges crisp and ready for the next job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this work with free-float handguard installs?
A: Yes. The TL009 stabilizes the upper while you torque the barrel nut and align/secure the handguard hardware.
Q: Can I use it to time a muzzle brake or suppressor mount?
A: Absolutely—clamp the upper on the block, support the barrel properly, and follow manufacturer torque/anti-seize recommendations.
Q: Is it safe for anodized finishes?
A: The non-marring composite is designed to be finish-friendly when used correctly and with reasonable clamping pressure.
Q: Does it fit billet uppers?
A: Many billet uppers fit, but extreme external profiles may not seat perfectly. For best results, use with Mil-Spec-dimensioned receivers.
