Description
The BEV Block (Barrel Extension Vise) from Magpul is a compact, all-in-one vise block designed for AR-15/M4 assembly and maintenance tasks such as tightening barrel nuts and installing flash hiders. It mounts securely in a bench vise and provides full-length support for both billet and forged upper receivers. The tool engages the barrel extension with solid steel lugs and uses a steel support shank to prevent flexing, while Magpul polymer is used on other engagement surfaces to protect aluminum receiver finish. An O-ring post interfaces with the bolt carrier for additional stability, and the included pin keeps the upper in the correct position. The BEV Block can be inverted and used as a mag-well vise block to support the lower receiver during maintenance. Made in the U.S.A.
