The Wheeler Universal Barrel Clamp (Wheeler Engineering part no. 672286) is a gunsmithing bench essential from Wheeler Engineering, built to hold a barrel steady in a vise without marring its finish. Precision extruded from aircraft-grade aluminum and bonded with a non-marring urethane coating, it grips everything from a slim AR pencil barrel up to a heavier bull barrel. Once seated in a vise, the urethane coating compresses evenly around the barrel to deliver the clamping force needed for installation and removal work, making it a staple for any home or professional gunsmithing bench.

Key Specifications

• The clamp measures 12.5 inches overall, sized to work comfortably in a standard bench vise.
