The Birchwood Casey ARBENCH-BLOCK transforms AR-15 assembly and maintenance from a frustrating experience into precise, efficient work. This specialized bench block eliminates the need for improvised support methods that can damage receivers or components. Professional gunsmiths and serious enthusiasts rely on dedicated tooling to maintain consistent results and protect their investments.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic blocks or makeshift solutions, this bench block features precision-molded recesses specifically dimensioned for AR-15 lower and upper receivers. The block's strategic cutouts provide access to critical pin locations while supporting the receiver in multiple orientations. Standard wooden blocks or improvised supports lack the precise geometry needed for proper alignment during assembly operations.
Key Features
- Precision-molded recesses for AR-15 upper and lower receivers
- Multiple receiver orientations supported for various assembly tasks
- Strategic cutouts allow hammer and punch access to roll pins
- Non-marring polymer construction protects receiver finishes
- Stable base design prevents movement during assembly operations
- Compatible with standard gunsmith punches and hammers
- Gray polymer construction resists oils and solvents
This bench block excels during trigger group installation, takedown pin fitting, and bolt catch assembly procedures. The precise receiver cradles maintain proper alignment while providing solid support for driving pins. Competition shooters building custom rifles benefit from the consistent positioning that ensures repeatable assembly results. The block's polymer construction withstands repeated hammer strikes without deformation.
