Brownells Gunsmith Bench Vise, Clamping Rotary Base, Green

If you're serious about gunsmithing but short on permanent bench space, the Brownells Gunsmith Bench Vise Clamping Rotary Base is the smart answer. This rotating base lets you set up your vise exactly when you need it, then break it down and store it just as fast—no bolting anything down or taking up precious real estate year-round. The base clamps securely to your workbench using a heavy-duty C-clamp mechanism that grips both the top and underside, delivering the rock-solid stability you need for precision work.

The standout feature here is the 360-degree rotating mechanism. Once your vise is clamped down, you can angle the whole rig to position your workpiece for optimal access and comfort. That kind of flexibility saves time and frustration, especially on detailed builds or repairs. The base itself is forged steel—not cast—built tough to handle the real work of a working shop. A secure locking mechanism holds your chosen angle locked in place so nothing shifts mid-task.

The green anti-corrosion finish is more than cosmetic: it matches the Brownells Gunsmith's Bench Vise and resists rust and wear in a working environment. Whether you're building competition rifles, doing trigger work, or diving into a restoration project, this base transforms a dedicated vise into a flexible, space-conscious shop solution.
