Orange Bench Vise Maintenance and Barrel Change Package
$1,599.00
Out of stock
Since the early days of Area 419 we have been using Orange Vise tools in our vertical and now horizontal milling centers. When we realized about a year ago they made a bench vise, we had to have one (or a few?) to go in the shop. When it showed up and was absolutely awesome, we knew one would end up in the Vault, and wanted to find ways to make it perfect for ourselves. These vises come with a 5″ CarveSmart dovetail style jaw set, which we know are meant to be modified – and we ain’t soft.
What we landed on was a jaw set that was able to:
-
- Hold onto ARCALOCK (as well as standard ARCA) rails
- Hold onto Picatinny/1913/Weaver rails
- Hold onto 700-style (and basically all other) bolts
- Incorporate a barrel-bushing system for swapping barrels in and out of receivers
- All the other general vise stuff you might expect
Our barrel bushing kit comes with 4 bushing sets, as well as a storage block:
-
- 1.000″
- 1.200″
- 1.250″
- Universal V-Block, good for .750″ to 1.750″ barrel diameter
We suggest you have a 1/4″ and 5/32″ Hex Key that live on the bench near the vise. The 5/32″ won’t see much use, but the 1/4″ is really handy for positioning.
The Orange Bench Vise applies clamping force linearly based on the position of the handle after a workpiece is gripped:
-
- 1/8 turn: 750 lbs
- 1/4 turn: 1500 lbs
- 3/8 turn: 2250 lbs
- 1/2 turn: 3000 lbs (max)
The maximum force of the vise is limited by the axial load rating of the NTN thrust bearing.
Orange also offers a robust warranty on the vise.
-
- LIFETIME WARRANTY against defects in materials and workmanship
- Accidental Damage Replacement Program – email us for special pricing on replacement components at significantly reduced pricing (50% off for most components except bearings)
When combined with the incredible positional versatility of the Orange Vise, we think it’s the perfect rifle vise kit. Available now, and ONLY here at Area419.com
NOTE: This is NOT your grandpa’s steel Wilton vise that is meant for welding and 2lb steel hammers. It’s a very robust, beautiful, consistent, useful vise. It’s not a fab-shop vise. Please, don’t do anything stupid.

The best vise around.

No need to comment on the vise quality; if you’re reading this, you’ve already made up your mind.
I will say that A419 keeping the price where it is HAS to be barely making a profit. First, try finding an Orange vise anywhere right now for less than $1450 (company site has MSRP of $1495) and in stock for one. Then you’ll still be missing the custom jaw and barrel bushing set which is classic 419 machinist-porn and not shown in my pic because i’m keeping it in the box when not in use. Yes, buying this vise is a symptom of greater sickness.
Thanks Area419 for making heirloom-quality gear accessible without robbery.

The Orange Bench Bice and Area 419 barrel changing and gun maintenance components far exceeded my expectations. This is a serious gun enthusiast or gunsmith’s new best friend. Each component was well thought out and executed and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Can’t wait to start outfitting my new workbench.

Crazy nice vise
Greg R M. (verified owner) –
This is a fantastic piece of equipment, a little pricey but if you look at total cost and functions it can replace multiple tools in one package. The design and all components fabrication and attention to detail are outstanding. I am glad i got on the waiting list.

Perfect vise for gunsmithing

The craftmanship on this vise is excellent. The vise has already proven itself useful multiple times. This vise is not cheap, but every time I use it, I’ll be glad I got it. This tool will outlast most of my other shooting and reloading gear. For what we spend on rifles, optics and components it made sense to me spend the money and get the right tool for the job.

This is, hands down, this nicest vice I’ve ever had hands on. The machine work is is second to NONE. Amazing addition to the workshop!

Made in USA, built task specific, will last a lifetime and beyond

This is a tool that is a one-time purchase, and worth every penny–even if you’re not a professional gunsmith. Now I can do everything from cleaning to swapping barrels and removing muzzle devices, etc. Today, it makes sense to spend the money on the right tool for a $5-$10K+ rifle so you don’t damage it trying to jury-rig something in your Wilton vise.

Even with the increased cost due to inflation it’s worth the price!

I thought when I ordered it I spent too much but when I put my hands on it I was very impressed with it. Just like the Zero Press.

Awesome setup for cleaning and working on rifles. I like a nice clean space when I’m working on or cleaning a rifle and this makes for a perfect setup where you can set the part at an angle that works for you and keep it there.
Martin Bordson (verified owner) –
It’s a lot of money for a vise that has limited use. But is intended for a very specific set of functions, so it is the only game in town. I like it!

The vise and jaws have already exceeded expectations. It’s a tool that looks like a piece of art.
