Wheeler 156444 Delta Series AR-15 Upper Receiver Vise Block

The Wheeler 156444 Delta Series Upper Vise Block transforms AR-15 maintenance from a frustrating balancing act into a secure, professional operation. This black polymer fixture holds upper receivers rock-solid in any standard vise, eliminating movement during barrel installation, muzzle device timing, and gas block work.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic aluminum blocks that can mar receiver surfaces, the Delta Series features impact-resistant polymer construction with precision-molded contact points. The design distributes clamping pressure evenly across the receiver's rail system rather than concentrating force on thin-walled areas. This prevents deformation while providing the rigid platform essential for torque-intensive operations like barrel nut installation.

Key Features

• Precision-molded polymer construction prevents receiver damage and surface marring
• Universal compatibility with mil-spec and commercial AR-15 upper receivers
• Secure grip on Picatinny rail system distributes clamping pressure evenly
• Non-slip base design prevents rotation in vise jaws during heavy torque applications
• Compact 6.5-inch length fits standard bench vises without overhang
• Chemical-resistant polymer withstands solvents and cleaning compounds
• Textured grip surfaces provide positive engagement with receiver rails

Gunsmith operations demand absolute stability when applying 30-80 foot-pounds of torque to barrel nuts or timing muzzle devices. The Delta Series maintains this stability while protecting expensive receivers from vise jaw damage. Competition shooters appreciate the secure platform for precision barrel swaps, while armorer-level maintenance becomes achievable for home builders. The polymer construction resists impact damage that would crack brittle aluminum alternatives.
