anyone have an action block I can borrow?

[sniper7]

Got a new barrel and need to install some handguards on another upper.
I had ordered a action block, have been waiting months for it, talked to them and they said they still don't know when it will get in, so I canceled the order.

I shouldn't need it for more than a few hours. I have all the stuff I need, just need an action block to secure the upper!

send me a PM!

thanks!

Is this the block that goes in the magwell so you can put upper in a vise to work on ? If that's what you mean I have one you can borrow.

I think it is supposed to wrap around the upper receiver to support it. I don't know if the ones that go into the magwell can handle the torque from putting on a free float handguard?

anyone ever used one like staglefty has?

I don't think this is what your looking for. Went and put it in and I don't see putting a lot of torque on upper with this. I think this is just so you can use 2 hands when working on upper. Sorry !

I Believe the one stagLefy is referring to is used to support the lower in a vise while working on it to prevent the Magwell from twisting/Collapsing

You need an Upper receiver action block which wraps around the upper AND Has the Insert for the upper (Slides into the upper as a BCG Would) to prevent your vice from crushing/twisting the upper.

my block is for the lower-lower lower lower-not reading right this morning.

Is it a flat top upper?
