Best 3 inexpensive Gun Maintenance – Vises

We’re here today to give you a short review of the Tipton’s best gun vise.

It is actually a really useful tool in our shop here. Now the Tipton’s best gun vice can be adjusted to an extremely wide variety of firearms. I really can’t think of any a shoulder-fired rifle that you really can’t fit this thing to starting.

At the front here everything uses these big knobs to adjust and tighten down. It’s all to listen adjust very fast. We have the front cradle up here for the four end of your rifle or shotgun. And you can undo this front knob and slide it forward or back to wherever you need. Additionally, you can undo this knob right here on the cradle and you can slide it up or down at an angle. There are some detents in there that it skips over and you can set through a pretty wide range got to loosen it up.

A little bit more you can slide it through a pretty large range and get this thing really set wherever you need it. When you get it where you want it and you lock the knob down there are little detents in here that keep it from sliding. Once you lock it down so you don’t really have to crank it down hard but you can get it set in and you’re pretty good to go on the back here. This is the portion. That really gives it the vice name now there are two knobs that allow you loosen this up and slide this portion forward or back on the aluminum track in. The base and once you get it set to where you want the buttstock to be.

You have two cams here on either side. They have these big locking flipper levers on them what you do is initially you start with the levers in the up position. You use these black knobs on either side to adjust the pads to get them fairly close to the stock.

You then flip these levers down and it cams those pads in and applies pressure to your stock and it really locks it in there. I mean you can see I can lift the back of the I set by it so it’s really holding the stock in fairly sturdy and because these are just in and out. If you’re working with a really fine wood stock and you don’t want to worry about mari you can use pretty light tension. If you’re working with the tactical rifle that’s got some weight to it or you’re really going to be doing something that’s going to be moving the rifle around you can increase the tension and really crank that down additionally.

There is padded material in the middle here to protect your stock if you’ve got a really good angle on that stock on the toe. Then it’s not going to get nicked up or torn up now. One of the really neat features of this vise is it was designed to allow you to work on ars as well very easily. Now you see we have an ar-15 in here and one of the primary ways to clean an. Ar-15 is to shotgun the rifle open that way.

You can just slide in your bore guide. You can run your rods in etc and you don’t have to fully disassemble the rifle. They see it cleaned ars for a while know that when you take the upper receiver off it’s usually flopping around. It always takes one hand to stabilize the upper while you’re using the other hand to try to run the rod and manage patches.

On the Tipton’s Best Gun vise they include this nifty little l-shaped bracket here and what I like to do with it is set it with the short side up. Slide it back underneath the trigger guard and then lock it down and it will hold the ar in shotgun fashion. So that you can put your bore guide in here, run your cleaning rod, etc.

How’s it going guys, so we’ve been shooting a lot of USPS still challenge. Three gun then get the guns nice and. Dirty functioning really reliable i. Needed a gun vise so i walked into my. Local gun shop and they had tipton’s. Ultra gun vise really nice unit modular. So they could do a lot and i believe the. Can look like it will do conventional rifles break open shotguns modern sporting rifles crossbows upper receiver. Assemblies bull pups compound bow. Handguns and muzzle loaders it’s got. Some steel rails all modular the clay. Clamp width is two and a half inches four inches on the hike elevations got. Adjustable feet if you have a bench. That’s not flat maybe you’re going to do it on the ground or something i don’t know but it looks like it’s got all the bells and whistles a couple things i like. About it the trays are nice they snap in really easy seemed like it’d be really nice to clean holding your coals or both whatever small springs set screws pins. All room for that here everything get it. Nice and tight again it works for several platforms this is my. Lancer systems /jp 22 it’s in a little. Bit of rework and put a different optic on it with different modes muzzle break before this weekend’s steel challenge match which is eating up got a couple. Co-workers involved in there’s a lot of. Quick guys shooting in this room fire steel challenging that we put together really excited to keep it competitive. Yeah so one of nice things about this. You know you get either clamp it you. Could drop this down knobs got a great. Purchase on me could put a lot of torque into them I’m still a little bit tight. Going flying everywhere i imagine the more you use it the easier. It will start to function go ahead and. Pop the hold down charging handle now you get your floor. Type start running your rod through their jag’s whatever patches whatever. You use this is a really nice gun really. Expensive to build 10 22 is all you need. To do rim fire steel challenge stock 10. 22 should be able to do everything this thing does however if you are going to. Build an ar platform and rim fire hyper. Fire triggers a must have it tried. Everything nothing seemed to have the. Hammer impact to set off those rim fire rounds this hyper fire eclipse i have in. Here it’s the coated on the highest end. One talk to guys the hyper fire they. Figured it would work i had them test a. Bunch of them send me the best one of twenty doesn’t send the gun now i really. Like it really satisfied with the customer service and how quick they got it out to me and its function flawlessly. Simply put it on in not one failure to. Fire no life strikes really brutal nice. Trigger another thing that this. Particular vise has on it and again to. Clamp this hexagon carbon barrel and the. Lancer systems carbon stock is kind of pain this thing has a ball mount. So these articulates really nice it’s. Going to get a little dirty so it’s good that i got this needs a little bit of cleaning being a rim fire there is a. Trigger stop you know you should be able. To dry fire the trigger have arrived this different catch bolt catch release. For the rim fire setup it won’t work here but I’m sure I’ll put on my. Center fire rifle which is also a tricky. Gun to mount and see how that functions. But tipton ultra gun bites so far I’m. Really satisfied i like it seems really. Solid i mean this will probably be a class gun by you ever need it’s nice to see that they. Upgraded from their best gun bias or. Whatever it is so I’ll put my shotgun my. Pistol and my center fire rifle on there. And we’ll test out this hammer stock. There also is some sort of bolt tear down. Think on this mag well vise i probably. Won’t get into that if you get one you can read the instruction and see how that goes i don’t know how it goes yet but yeah we’ll put the next gun on alright so I’m. Going to kind of freestyle this one like i said I’m still really new to the. System but we’ll go ahead and put my center fire rifle in here by three gun. Really nice gun been really satisfied. With this thing so far it’s got it tuned. In june working really well so go ahead. And kind of awkward I’m doing it on the. Opposite side of my bench thank you this. Guy is locked down the frame and again. This is the kfs industries tac mod stock. Really nice unit daniel horner runs it if you’re familiar with three guns for a. Really nice modular it’s got adjustable cheek piece and just how far you want it. Out it does have this really thick limb. Saver butt stock pad which is quiet. Aggressive for two to three it does get. Hung up on your shirt sometimes here or. You’re shooting jersey i noticed daniel doesn’t run this on his. Rifle so i like it for now it’s pretty. Comfortable to shoot like that but it does get hung up on your shirt if you’re maneuvering the gunner getting it up. Again raise the front just lift up here. Go ahead and tighten that guy down and. Attack the clamps up. These trays will snap man i guess we don. That from there but the inner lock into. The mounts which is really nice so you. Get everything really tight if you need to be don’t need to in this situation. One thing about this rifle i want to. Show the hammer stop i do have jp take down pins in this gun. And there are the oversize tightening pins, so they are tough to get out this. Gun like it says that’s kfs industries. Stock really nice steiner 1/2 for scope. Nice for now lancer systems upper lower. Receiver carbon hand guard is a 16 and a. Quarter inch proof research carbon barrel jp systems titanium break all jp. Low-mass bolt they’re silent captures. Spring this one’s got the elf man tactical 3 gun trigger really nice. Didn’t work so well in the 22 works flawlessly in hair amazing trigger. Really liked it i got kind of short finger so i didn’t go with the flat face i do have a different grip. Coming this is just like a mil spec grip so is jp take down ends make the receiver. Really touched which is really. Nice you know if you don’t have a. Matched machine upper lower receiver i. Would get those work really nice go. Ahead and lower this down we could break the gun open a little further you justin. And this is a little tight going to. Clamp that down and this is an awkward gun to take apart you might have to take. The receiver off to get to this hammer. Deal which looks like we do crack this. Guy loose take the upper off so this is. The hammer stop it looks like in the. Brochure is supposed to go all the way down flat for some reason it’s not on this gun but. If you wanted to play with the trigger do some dry fires test trigger I’ll do. Some weight pulls on it that stops it. From impacting the lower receiver. Marring it up saves pan on trigger. That’s a really nice feature i like that. This is some sort of very weird it’s not. A hard rubber it’s more of a soft. Plastic so you could probably do this forever and it’s going to break that thing which is really nice so again this. Is with center fire rifle we’ll go ahead and throw my shotgun on here next see what it sees how it grabs it should work. Flawlessly alright we’ll go ahead and. Put the bread in here right at 1301. Really nice gun i did the modification to it we’ll go ahead and remove the mag glass out of the way and need that i did the loading port i. Did a lot of cylinders head fabrication and professional racing all different. Levels so i got in here with the grinder. Polish it up made quad loading much. Easier really happy with that this comes got a lancer systems i think it’s the +5. To carbon fiber really nice. Deal i could probably go back on the a. Bit and pull this tray out extend this a. Little more leverage on it. Yeah fairly simple fairly easy how much you. Do on a shotgun but if you want to take the tube out flip it over you could. Probably this probably would not even be. A bad way to do your modification to the. Loading port if you wanted to you could. Probably get real close to describe the receiver going there at the grinder dremel whatever your cover you’re going to do it go ahead and attack that so. This is the shotgun beretta 1301 lancers. Systems to so far as convent flawless i. Really like this come to the money hard. To beat it’s not a turn tactical but it. Works really nice so the last gun that. We’re going to install on here is my block g 34 put some zebb parts on it. Flared magwell i put our mar on it i do. I will run it in limited division pretty. Nice gun i like it i did order a 2011. But this has been working fine for now. Really it’s really nice kind of actually. Did a grip on here it’s got like a. Really velvety the lure type finish sub. Triggers of mag well zip slide barrel. All that parts again this is about the. Vise and go ahead and move this by some places prop this up see if we can grab it. By the lower part of the receiver. It’s like you can its enough bite on it. And it’s this damn sure wants a walk around go ahead and pull out this. Chamber flag and dry-fire go ahead and. Pull the slide off there yeah you put. Your caddies back in here i do have to. Clean this up go break it down. Simple easy you go in here and clean. This flow it out i use a lot of alcohol. To clean my guns i got a little compressed air canister throw some. Isotropic 70% in their rinse everything down realize if you don’t have a ultrasonic cleaner that removes. Everything and it’s really pretty safe on most finishes i would check before. You put on anything like spray paint but. Works well for me anodizing powder. Coating works fine so this is the. Tipton’s ultra gun buy so far you seem to put on rim fire center fire rifle. Shotgun pistol supposedly to put a. Crossbow on it palm combo all kinds of different things. Nice units solid doesn’t move around he. Could really get in there and run a brush or patches through something pretty aggressive leaves really pretty sturdy i even have it on this slippery. Surface here and it hasn’t moved around much so get all the adjustment nice unit. Chipton good job hope you guys enjoyed. This i did paint a hundred and seventy. Nine dollars in my local gun shop i try. To support those guys however you guys. Are probably really good at shopping if you searched the right sites amazon. Natchez midway you get them in one. A Hundred thirty-one hundred and forty dollar range over to local gun shop paid 179 for but happy to have my local gun shop. Cos when i need something in a pinch. They’re there hope you guys enjoyed. Enjoy shooting have fun be safe so you. Got the next match hopefully have a good one. You.

Hey guys midnight range tm here i wanted. To bring a quick review to the channel. Tipton ultra gun vise a few weeks ago i. Got a flyer in the mail for a midway and. This bad boys on sale right now I’ve. Wanted a gun vise for four years now. And i never wanted to buy a cheapie one. I wanted something nice but these were always in 150 dollar range or something like that a little more expensive than i wanted to put out for at the time so 99. Bucks is a killer price and so i brought. It home put it together i mounted a rifle in it once just to sort of get a feel for it but this summer once i get out and shoot some more I’m you know I’ll have a better idea of what’s going on how it works and use it on a couple different rifles so you know. Might do a secondary review then this is. Just sort of unboxed review it is. Solid it’s really nice mm-hmm it’s heavy. It’s really sticks in place it’s got. Some rubberized feet on the bottom the you screw on they have some bolts you. Can actually take those out and bolt it straight to a bench too if you want to. And then you know it’s a solid as your. Benches so just a couple of quick things. That go over it is sort of it is a polymer but it is a really sturdy. Polymer i wasn’t really sure what to. Expect from it’s not just like an injection molded plastic ii kind of. Hollow feeling it really is pretty solid. The basically it comes totally just a. Sound like disassembled you’ll get the rails and these rails are really like. Really thick it’s really sturdy it. Doesn’t have any give to it at all this this and this is all. Unattached when it comes these trades just pop off which is pretty cool. They just pop on and off really you know sort of like you know if you’re. Working on something you put your screwdrivers or your dyes or whatever the hell you want in there you know your punches or you know screws springs all. That kind of you know boing all that kind of little stuff stick them in there so you don’t lose them what would be nice too is to maybe cut a you know have. The magnets that are flexible what i. Want to do is actually get some of those and sort of superglue them into the. Bottom so that way there’s a magnet in there you can just drop a screw or a bolt or something in there and it’s gonna stick so that’s one thing i want. To do quick which is nice. The this and the actual vise parts. Unscrew and it’s basically like a. C-clamp underneath you know and it does. Really tighten down well it does a good. Job you know there is when you tighten. It obviously there’s a little you see you do see some bending of the tubes but that’s you know it is what it is it does a good job and it does hold up well the. Grips the vise grips are they do have a. Rubber cover on them and they’re a nice. Soft rubber i can’t see them marring. Anything i feel like it’s gonna do a. Good job and it’s soft enough to have a really good grip to it they do have a. Screw on the back that you can’t see, and they raise up and you can take them off. Obviously but they raise up so they do. Come up pretty high so that way you can. Put the back up and angle it down for cleaning so you’re not having any solvents or oils or anything run into the action of your rifle this is an. Ar-15 mountain obviously if you didn’t know that the ar-15 mount does pivot. Some screw it and pivots this is. For your ar-15 bolt take your bolt out. Hooks in there and it gives you the. Ability to clean out your bowl this is. Unbelievable it’s pretty cool and this. Is a hammer stop you actually put your. Air fifteen through the mag well there the magwell goes over top of this it sits here and then you can lift this up. And position it wherever it’s supposed to be positioned and that way if you’re doing trigger work or putting a trigger in say you’re polishing your trigger and. You want to check functionality when you. Pull the trigger and the hammer drops it’ll drop against this and that way. You’re not doing any undue abuse to your. Trigger okay so it’s just a you know. Soft plastic kind of rubbery plastic so. That’s really cool i thought that was really neat so i don’t think there’s a lot more to say other than that i just thought it was a really kind of a fun product to review especially. While it’s on sale i did see two that they are on sale on amazon for the same. Price but you know either way. You want to go you could do that if you.

Everyone else here with house of guns. Calm and I’ve got another non-shooting. Review for you here this is kind of done. Simultaneously with the last one from ctk precision got a few products for them i want to show you but this video is done by me with house of guns calm. For arms vault calm the guys at arms. Vault were kind enough to help us get. Our hands on this product so thank you greg with arms vault for letting us check out this fantastic product totally. Impressed it’s a lot of times in the shooting industry you can get. Excited about something because you’re like oh yeah that’s neat but sometimes there’s a product that comes along that you just get totally geeked about because it’s better than what you’ve used in the past you know you see you always have your way of doing things and then you realize wow there’s a better. Way of doing this and sure enough we. Found one of them today the last review from house of guns comm i showed you the. Ctk precision p3 ultimate shooting risk. Complete package right here we talked. About the front yoke of the rear cradle or the rear platform that that fits on. To the frame here and slides on with the sleeve nice big adjustment knobs everything easy to use product and solid. As a rock i cannot emphasize that enough how solid this stuff from cdk precision. Is so i wanted to do this one on behalf. Of arms fall comm because this is. Something that i think they would be very excited about too just like i am so. We have this whole package here right i don’t want to be redundant, but we have this whole package of the ultimate. Shooting rest and i talked about how easy the sleeve is it slides this is how. It came the bottom the rear rest the rear cradle was already on the. Rest when i got it in order to take it off you would remove of the rear adjustment the rear shoe down here so but the cool thing is using. It as a vice even with an ar-15 that’s. That’s heavy on the bottom product here you have the magwell don’t even if you have a magazine in it makes it even longer and then the grip which comes way down a lot of shooting rest side views that’s always my problem shooting an ar you’re bumping into the frame plenty of room on this sucker that is not an issue at all but here we have today an ad on the. P3 ultimate gun vice now you would see. That the name is familiar you could get this package in one of two configurations you can get it holes with. With the frame and the gun vice say well maybe you know i work on them a lot but. I do a lot of bench shooting exciting stuff then you know i do it one and done and that’s fine so I’d rather have the vice i could work on stuff or you know. You say well i do more shooting that i go working off of a vice so I’d rather order it as a whole package with the rear cradle as a shooting rest and not as a complete vice package well what ctk does is they allow you to buy these. Add-ons let’s say you bought it as a. Rest and you say well I’d like to have the possibility to use it as a vice as well. The cool thing about that is that you can say okay well i can buy this in. Addition to this and use it. Cooperatively alongside of it so here. You have it’s essentially a clamp you can see the inside bracket here that. Fits around the one-inch square tubing. The adjustment clamp crank handle right. Here is huge that’s like three and a. Half inches there you’re not going to have any issues cinching this down and the same foam that we talked about on the shooting rest over here like this. Guy right here they use for protection. Of your firearm so if you don’t have a synthetic stock gun that you want to work on like this ar-15 let’s say you have a nice wood monte carlos porter stock something like that you say okay well I’m going to put this in a clamp i don’t want to hurt it this is soft foam you are not going to. Do any damage to your nice wood finish on a nice rifle if you have one so. This is attended to go along with the. Ultimate shooting rest that’s why it’s called the ultimate gun vice and so what i want to do here is show you how easy it is with the previous format with the. The ultimate shooters rest and the rear cradle here how easy it is to put this to put this vice to put this vice. Fitting on and use it as if we. Were going to get ready to work on this gun and put it in nice and solid so you. Have i showed you the clamp the tool. Hanger here the foam that would. Grip it as it clamps down you see and then there’s a simple band on the bottom that helps provide tension to hold it. Around the frame so you’re going to want to loosen it up enough so that open it. Will fit around the frame but this is. The awesome part this is what i love about this i want to loosen up the rear rest with the knob there the adjustment. Knob slide it up you guys see how it. Just has that sleeve it slides up and there we’re open in the back here I’m. Going to take this clamp it together slides it over put it in place put the. Gun where i want it I’m going to get it right on the meat of it there so it gets it nice and solid and all I’m going to do is tighten it up and you don’t have. To you don’t have to go crazy with it you won’t have to cinch it down you get it snug and it’s going to stay this. Thing is not not going anywhere it’s not. Even sliding down a device there so i can put some pressure on it hit it hard i know this isn’t a gun that I’m going to hurt so i wanted to show you that but this thing is fantastic and it’s not. It’s very rigid it’s very strong just. Like the rest of the frame of the rest is but it’s very simple to use and very. Very user-friendly it came totally assembled so all i had to do was figure out okay i need to slide this thing forward let’s say you want to. Break it open your ar you want to work on it open and this is cool because. You can use the rear rest in cooperation with device so I’m going to pop this. Hinge pin out we’re going to open it up. And I’m going to set the rest there. Tighten it up tighten that up a little. But so it’s not going to slide around and you have a vice there open up ar you. Can work on it you want to move the bowl whatever you feel like you need to do and everything’s right there run your. Cleaning rod down through it take it. Apart take the fore-end apart this thing is not going anywhere. The nice thing about that is we talked. About how rigid the shooting rest itself is how heavy it is how much weight it. Has to it the vice works in cooperation. With that so you have a nice solid base. That you don’t have to worry about toppling off the table be a top-heavy it’s nice and wide at the bottom and. It’s not going anywhere you could leave it overnight i mean make sure it’s safe where kids are going to get to it but it’s that easy then to remove it I’m not. Going to go through the trouble putting the bolt in just because of time here. But I’m going to move this back out of the way loosen this up just the tab. Slide it out pushes the pin in and loosen. This up enough that i can sandwich it. Together the top pull it off slide it. Back and boom I’m right there. Something that comes to mind with this is breaking it a new rifle at the range. And you know the one thing we like about. This that we set in the shooting rest review is that it is so it is so sturdy. But does not get in the way of the. Shooter getting comfortable on the rifle in order to get a good sight picture and. A good cheek weld to the top of the comb here so let’s say you’re one to break in. A rifle in your shooting once run in a. Patch through the bore shoot again run a patch to the bore and you go through that whole process well if you want to. Do that and you want a nice and sturdy so you can get in the grooves real well take this along clamp it on easy you can see how fast and easy it is to do and it works awesome the folks at c2k precision. Have thought through this so well and it is a very neat combination of the. Two so thanks to greg and arms ball comm. And hope this review has been helpful.
