Jim Blair | Long Barrel Fixture

Long barrels are another challenge. A similar fixture to the Mike Dubber SAA barrel holder, but a longer version needs to be fashioned. This is where a mill and lathe can help you accomplish this task.

Receivers for rifles or shotguns sometimes require a wood block inserted inside to keep it even and level in the vise, along with decreasing vibration if inlaying is to be done. Combining methods of workholding may be necessary for some pieces — here, leather pads are used in conjunction with the wood block. RECEIVERS Custom Wood Fixture Photos courtesy Marianne Kelley
