The ultimate Gun vise - Quartermaster

Guns Magazine, Oct, 2002 by Holt Bodinson

The New England Custom Gun Service Ltd., is the source for what can be considered the most useful, most flexible, most refined, best designed gun vise in the business. In fact, with few exceptions, until the introduction of this vise at the SHOT Show two years ago, there really hasn't been a true gun vise, merely adaptations of the common machinist's vise fitted with soft jaws of some sort.

The NECG vise begins with a traditional woodcarvers vise. Wood backed, cork-lined pads are then added to the freely swiveling vise jaws that gently but firmly accommodate the taper of any stock, barrel or part. Finally, a unique aluminum support arm is added to the vise. The finished vise, resting on a pedestal base, is secured to the workbench by a single 5/8 inch through-bolt fitted with a locking handle. Reaching under the bench and loosening the locking handle, the craftsman can swivel the whole vise to a convenient working angle.

As pictured, the adjustable support arm can be set to any workable length or height to support stocks, barrels or pieces being worked upon. The NECG vise makes cleaning, inletting, glass bedding, stoning, polishing, scope mounting, and detail metal and wood work easier than ever. Frankly, the uses one can put this flexible vise to are limited only by one's imagination. The NECG custom gunmaker's vise retails for $269.
