Gun vise...

I made one out of scrap wood. It's good for cleaning and minor tinkering and adjustments. It has a box under it for storage.

Did you make those vise pads or buy them somewhere?

2 weeks ago I was given an older US made 3.5" vise. I already have an 8" Wilton in my shop so I decided to mount this one my "gun cleaning/gun smithing/reloading" bench after I stripped off the old paint and rust and refinished it. I've been looking for some way to attach soft jaws, I've been considering just gluing some leather or cork to the jaw faces buy I REALLY like what you got there!

For my ARs I just use the mag well plug in my bench vise.

But for "regular rifles" I use something I threw together.

And this is more my idea of scrap.
 
Beach Bum, it is just poplar that I had from an abandoned project some time before. Wasn't working from plans. I didn't have a stand of any sort, and wanted to see what I could do. Just sorta happened, really.

Sovblocgunfan, After seeing what you can do for a gun cleaning cradle, have you ever thought of building a reloading station in a box that could be used at the range? Really nice work sir!
 
thank ya, sir! No, haven't thought about the reloading box, but I could see someone doing it!
 
This one. Inexpensive, portable, etc. I have rubber inserts for my regular bench vise, but it you want something you can use on the kitchen table to mount a scope, this works well.
