Pistol block

[Jericho]

Did searches for a pistol armourer's block but kept getting articles about AR gas blocks.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a Canadian source for a pistol armourer's block?

I got mine from Brownells, and also made some custom ones out of oak.

Bad choice of keywords? Try again with "gunsmithing tool block" and you'll do a lot better. Another name for those is "gunsmith bench block".

Not a lot of gunsmithing supply outlets in Canada. You might find something you can use or you likely will need to order in from the US.

Thabks. Been trying to avoid the US but I may have to suck it up.

I made a few out of hockey pucks. Made a jig to hold them in place and created the V grooves on my table saw. I then drilled out holes of various sizes on my drill press. All in it was $4.00 for 3 pucks plus a hour of my time.

It's not hard to make your own bench block. Here's one I made to fit my Grand Power X-Caliburs. Just cutup and glue some 1x4 and 1/4x2 oak from Homedepot

Found some at rustywood... Got some oxpho blue cream and other goodies coming from them too. Just seen the ideas, great way to save a few dollars. Woulda went that route had I not already ordered a block. Good ideas!
