Considerations & Trade-offs

  • This is a #2 steel bushing, so it is intended for a specific barrel size rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
  • The steel construction is aimed at higher clamping power, but it does not offer the non-marring characteristic noted for the aluminum bushings.
  • The product is part of a universal barrel vise system, so compatibility depends on matching the bushing size to the barrel shank diameter.
  • The description does not provide full fitment details for the #2 size, so confirming application before purchase is important.
