Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for use with Brownells Barrel Vise and Universal Clamping Block, so it may not suit other setups without checking compatibility first.
- The kit is intended to cast custom-fit bushings, which adds a setup step and is less immediate than using a fixed-size bushing.
- The aluminum block accepts barrels up to 1 3/4 inches in diameter, so larger barrel contours are outside its stated range.
- Finished bushings are formed from the included molding materials, so results depend on careful mixing and proper use of the instructions.
