Building or maintaining an AR-15 platform rifle involves precision work with small, easy-to-lose components. The Real Avid Master Bench Block for AR Platforms is a black polymer resin work surface designed specifically to organize and secure the pins and springs you'll encounter during AR assembly or disassembly. It's built to handle five different AR gun parts in eight different orientations, letting you access and remove or install 13 distinct pins and gas rings without fumbling or dropping critical pieces on your shop floor.
The genius of this bench block lies in the embedded magnets that capture any pin you punch out, eliminating the frustration of hunting under the workbench for a lost component mid-project. Clear engraved labels tell you exactly where each part sits and which punch size you need for each pin, turning a potentially confusing assembly into a straightforward process. Dedicated storage spaces keep common pin sizes organized and within arm's reach, so you're not digging through boxes mid-build. The no-slip coating on the underside keeps the block planted firmly on your bench, so it won't creep or shift as you apply pressure during pin removal.
Whether you're installing a trigger assembly (with dedicated slots for those two 5/32" pins) or setting gas rings on a vertical bolt, this bench block acts as a stable, organized third hand. It's the kind of tool that makes the difference between an aggravating teardown and a methodical, controlled rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this bench block handle trigger assembly removal?
Yes. The Master Bench Block includes dedicated slots specifically designed to help you knock out the two 5/32" pins that hold AR trigger assemblies, making that particular job faster and more controlled.
What if I'm working with gas rings during a bolt rebuild?
The bench block allows you to position the bolt vertically, which is the right setup for installing the three gas rings. The labeled spaces and organized layout guide you through each step.
Will small pins get lost during disassembly?
No. The embedded magnets are designed to capture any pin you punch out, preventing it from bouncing off the bench or getting lost in a shop full of tools and parts. The integrated storage spaces also keep common pin sizes organized so you can find them when needed.
Does the block stay put on my workbench?
Yes. The no-slip coating on the underside ensures the block grips your workspace firmly and won't shift or slide around during use, even when you're applying punch pressure.
