Description
The Real Avid Master Gun Vise is a bench-mount vise built specifically for firearms work. It replaces the combination of a standard bench vise, wood blocks, and improvised padding that most of us have been using to hold guns during maintenance and builds.
The defining feature is the articulating ball and socket joint at the base, which allows 360-degree repositioning without removing the firearm from the jaws. A friction clamp holds the position for general work. For high-torque applications like barrel nut installation or castle nut work, the Torq-Lok pin locks the ball joint into one of eight positions and handles up to 100 ft-lb.
The jaws come with reversible Gun-Fit sleeves — a grooved nylon side for positive grip on Picatinny rails, barrels, and bolt carriers, and a padded side for compression grip on finished surfaces without marring. Four dual-purpose locking pins secure the sleeves and also anchor the Lug-Lok upper vise block (sold separately). A built-in leveling knob provides ±3 degrees of micro-adjustment for scope mounting and optic leveling.
The vise mounts to any workbench with three bolts (included). Note that the friction clamp assembly extends below the bench surface and may interfere with drawers depending on your bench layout — measure before drilling.
Compatible with Real Avid’s Smart-Fit AR15 Vise Block, Lug-Lok Upper Vise Block (AR-15 and AR-10), Smart-Jaws family, and Smart-Assist system. All accessories sold separately.
