The Ultimate Heavy-Duty Bench Vise for Gun Work!
A sturdy vise is the cornerstone of any gunsmith's workbench. A dependable bench vise is absolutely critical for securing a complete gun or subassembly of one and positioning it so you can work on it properly. We searched long and hard for the best bench vise to fill this role, and we finally found a manufacturer in Germany that could offer the superior engineering and manufacturing quality to produce a vise capable of handling the most demanding jobs. Maybe we should be more modest, but we think our Brownells Gunsmith's Bench Vise fills the bill superbly.
You should be able to invest in a high-quality tool and use it for the rest of your life. That's what this heavy-duty bench vise is meant to do. It is forged, rather than cast, from high-grade steel for exceptional strength, precision, and durability. Why is forged important? For the same reason an AR-15 shooter wants forged receivers on their rifle, rather than cast: STRENGTH.
The 4¾" jaws are precision aligned with hardened steel faces that accept a variety of magnetic jaw inserts optimized for specific work. These jaws are extremely strong, so when you're removing a stubborn barrel, they will stand up to a lot of torque without flexing. When it's time to torque down the new barrel, you can rest assured this vise will not let you down.
Even the best tools wear over time, so the base jaws can be unbolted and replaced. These jaws are also reversible: choose the smooth face or the "checkered" texture face, depending on the job at hand. Easily swap them around for a different job. The add-on jaw inserts are available separately, so you can buy only the ones you need for the type of work you do.
The Gunsmith's Bench Vise can be bolted directly to your workbench. Or choose from several rotating bases that can be purchased separately to give you added flexibility.
We like the size of this vise. It's large enough to handle major jobs, but not oversized for gun work, so it isn't taking up more space on your bench than necessary. The green finish is a nod to the old classic Brownells Multi-Vise, showing this new vise continues the tradition of quality and reliability. As a practical matter, this protective coating also guards the surface of your vise from corrosion.
We have complete confidence in the strength of our Gunsmith's Bench Vise, but we understand accidents do happen. That's why this vise is backed by our Lifetime Guarantee.
Let's talk a little more about strength and the meticulous German engineering. The steel firearms are made of is extremely hard. Cast vise jaws, by comparison, are fairly brittle, and if they have a microscopic flaw…. you can end up with a broken vise. Our vise's forged jaws bring an extra level of strength. The drop-forged guide tracks have fully machined track surfaces for smooth, precise movement, with excellent clamping depth and a long service life. These guide tracks are designed to resist fouling.
The centrally positioned spindle has a double-action, rolled trapezoidal thread for extra strength and to maintain optimally distributed clamping force. The spindle assembly is electro-galvanized for excellent resistance to corrosion. The precision spindle bearing is protected, even the guide plates are drop-forged, and the spindle nut itself is forged for added strength. The spindle key is made of zinc, with riveted safety rings made of steel. You can adjust the spindle guide via a single, centrally located screw.
Take your gunsmithing setup to new heights with this ultimate workbench vise. It provides the strength, precision, and durability you need to master any project!

We stock both premium factory-new components and high-quality once-fired brass. Please check the specific product listing title and description carefully; once-fired brass is fully inspected, but we always recommend resizing and inspecting prior to priming and powder charging.
Our standard reloading dies and case length trimmer accessories utilize industry-standard threads (typically 7/8"-14) compatible with major single-stage, turret, and progressive presses like RCBS, Hornady, Lee Precision, and Dillon. Caliber-specific trim gauges must match your exact brass caliber.
Yes. Non-hazardous reloading equipment (dies, case length trimmers, gauges, and unprimed brass) ships via standard ground carriers with no extra fees. Any orders containing smokeless powders or primers will incur standard federal HazMat handling fees and cannot be shipped via air transportation.
Precision reloading gear is valuable, so all orders are shipped with tracking enabled. As soon as your package is dispatched from our inventory warehouse, a tracking number will be emailed to you. You can monitor your shipment directly on our Track Order page using your unique Order ID.
We accept returns on unused, unaltered tools, case preparation equipment, and unopened component boxes within 30 days of item delivery. Due to safety and strict quality control on the reloading bench, we absolutely cannot accept returns on opened packs of primers, smokeless powder, or processed brass casings.
