Real Avid is expanding its AR-platform offerings to cover AR-10 models with the new Smart-Fit AR15 Vise Block with Sleeve for AR10, Smart-Fit Vise Block Sleeve for AR10 and the Pivot Pin Tool for AR10.

REAL AVID SMART-FIT AR15 VISE BLOCK WITH SLEEVE FOR AR10
A vise block is an essential tool for securing an AR-platform rifle or carbine while swapping trigger groups, servicing the lower receiver, installing grips and buffer tubes or cleaning the barrel bore. The new Real Avid Smart-Fit AR15 Vise Block with Sleeve for AR10 (MSRP: $49.99) will expand to fit AR-15s, AR-10s and similar magazine wells.

 

The Smart-Fit AR15 Vise Block with Sleeve for AR10 (MSRP: $49.99) combines the Smart-Fit AR15 Vise Block with the new Smart-Fit Vise Block Sleeve for AR10. The sleeve slips over the vise block to accommodate fitment into the larger AR-10 magazine well. This system is compatible with standard AR-10s, along with the DPMS LR-308 and SR-25. Similar to the vise block’s use with AR-15s, the AR-10 sleeve adjusts to fit the magazine well by rotating the vise block’s adjustment handle.

Additionally, if you’ve already purchased a Smart-Fit AR15 Vise Block, the Real Avid Smart-Fit Vise Block Sleeve for AR10 can be purchased separately (MSRP: $19.99) for use with the original vise block.

AR-10 pivot pin tool
Real Avid’s new all-metal Pivot Pin Tool for AR10 (MSRP: $19.99) simplifies the installation process of your AR-10’s pivot pin.

 

Also new from Real Avid this year is the Pivot Pin Tool for AR10 (MSRP: $19.99). The tool is comprised of a pivot pin guide rod with a transverse hole to align the pivot pin spring and detent in the receiver, plus a pin punch to depress the spring and detent. Once depressed, rotate the guide rod to keep the spring and detent secure in the receiver. Remove the pin punch and insert the pivot pin, using the guide rod as a slave pin. The pivot pin can now capture the spring and detent in its slot and the installation is complete. Knurled handles on the guide rod and pin punch provides the necessary control to install the pivot pin assembly safely and without losing any parts. The pin punch screws into the guide rod handle for convenient storage in your toolbox.
