I'm almost finished with assembly of my AR15. The lower is complete and I have all the parts for the upper. Even have the compensator drilled and be pinned.

 

I need to assemble the barrel on the upper receiver. Does anybody have a take down pin vise block I could use?

 

Help me out and I'll buy you food and beer.

 

This is what I'm looking for

 

 

Where are you?

 

(it might say somewhere already but I can't find it on tapatalk)

Trenton.

Yep, I'm on the outskirts of Trenton

I would gladly lend you mine for the day if you were in Ocean or Monmouth but Trenton is kind of a schlep from Toms River...

Use the clamshell type. You can rack the upper receiver torquing the barrel using the takedown pin type.

The clamshell type is good only for right handed uppers.

I use the takedown pin type on left handed uppers.

I have both, in Gloucester County, just south of Camden, if you're coming down this way.

I was just in Tom's River yesterday. It was a hike.

I've read somewhere that receiver has to be put in a vise sideways and that will prevent it from racking the receiver. It makes perfect sense. A coworker let me borrow his clam shell holder and it doesn't fit on my mono upper.

Great, let me wait a little and see if there is anybody closer to me.
