Is the Real Avid Master Gun Vise up to the name of “Master”? Honestly, I had my concerns about torquing a barrel with this vise, until I got my hands on it.

I got to play with the Real Avid Master Vise for the first time in January at SHOT Show. I liked it but I couldn’t see if it could actually torque a barrel on it. Well, I actually one a Master Vise in a drawing and it has proven to me to be a “real” vise. Stick around for the whole video because I actually apply torq to a barrel to see if it lives up to its promise.

Check this vise out on Amazon!
