98Z5V Posted March 31, 2022 Report Posted March 31, 2022 Best thing is just run a Geissele Reaction Rod, or a similar device from another manufacturer. Nothing, ever, will happen to the Geissele, over time, I can guarantee that.

Black_Sheep Posted April 17, 2022 Report Posted April 17, 2022 The different types of vice blocks all serve different purposes. Vice blocks that lock into the mag well permit both hands to be free when you are assembling a lower. Same with the style of vice block that uses the take down and pivot pin lugs to securely hold an upper. The one I use has provisions for both small and large frame AR's so it was fairly cost effective. They are both handy for general maintenance and cleaning. I also have a couple of reaction rods, a Midwest Industries URR that has the anti-rotation tab and one from BOTACH without the tab. The only thing I'm wanting is a reaction rod for a .308. If I ever have to take apart my .308 I will buy one, they are that good. The MI rod gets used for torquing barrel nuts and muzzle devices to prevent damaging the index pin. The other is nice because the upper can be easily rotated 360* for stuff like handguard installations or tightening gas block set screws.
TomB2 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Posted June 14, 2022 Presma makes a rod and a block for 308. Found on Optic Planet, cheap.
