Description
Working on an AR is a whole lot easier when the rifle isn't sliding around your bench. The MTM AR Vise Block & Link slips into your AR's mag-well and gives you a rock-steady grip point to clamp into any standard bench vise. From there you've got both hands free to scrub the bolt carrier, torque a barrel nut, chase down a stubborn pin, or run through a full detail strip. It's the kind of simple tool that ends up living on the bench because you reach for it every single time you touch the rifle.
What Makes the ARVB Vise Block Different
The body is molded from thick MTM polymer, so it takes a hard clamp without flexing or cracking under pressure. The mag-well design sits at an angle rather than straight up, which tilts the rifle into a more natural working position and keeps the upper and lower easy to reach. That little bit of geometry makes a real difference when you're leaning over the bench for a while. It fits AR-15 mag-wells as well as the larger .308 AR DPMS and SR25 pattern rifles, so one block covers most of what's in the safe.
Why the Included AR Link Matters
This one ships with the AR link, and that's the piece a lot of folks overlook. The link keeps the upper and lower receivers pinned together and stable while the block is locked in the vise, so nothing shifts or hinges open on you mid-job. It's especially handy for cleaning and any work where you want the rifle held as one solid unit instead of flopping at the takedown pins.
Made in the U.S.A., the ARVB is one of those low-cost tools that pays for itself the first time you skip fighting the rifle across the bench. Whether you're a home gunsmith, a new builder assembling your first lower, or someone who just wants a proper cleaning setup, it does exactly what it promises and gets out of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does the MTM AR Vise Block fit?
It fits standard AR-15 mag-wells along with the larger .308 AR platforms built on the DPMS and SR25 pattern. That covers the vast majority of AR-style rifles on the market, so a single block usually handles everything in your collection.
Do I need a bench vise to use the ARVB?
Yes, the block is designed to be clamped into any standard bench vise. You slide the block into the rifle's mag-well, then lock the block in the vise jaws to hold the rifle steady while you work.
What is the AR link included for?
The link holds the upper and lower receivers together so the rifle stays as one solid unit while it's clamped down. This keeps the rifle from hinging open at the takedown pins during cleaning or assembly, which makes the whole job easier and more stable.
Is the MTM AR Vise Block strong enough for real work?
It's molded from thick MTM polymer built to take a firm clamp without flexing or cracking. It handles everyday cleaning, assembly, and most repair tasks well, and its angled design keeps the rifle in a comfortable working position throughout.
