P3 Ultimate Gun Vise - GunBlast

P3 Ultimate Gun Vise
by GunBlast


From time to time we receive a lot of products to review here at Gunblast. Some are very good . Some are junk. A couple of months ago, I received a box from CTK Precision in Marion, Wisconsin. Upon opening it, the literature stated that it contained the Ultimate Gun Vise. Looking into the box, it appeared to contain a lot of parts, so I set it aside and pretty much forgot about it. A few days ago, I was working on a Mossberg 500 shotgun, and it would not stay put while I was trying to manipulate internal parts, a punch, and a brass hammer. I decided to take the time to assemble the gun vise to see if it was of any use. Although I had dreaded trying to put the thing together, it was pretty simple, and took less than ten minutes to do so.



The Ultimate Gun Vise is built of quality materials, almost entirely of steel. It is a T-shaped device with a barrel or fore end rest at one end, and a padded clamp at the other. The vise measures about eighteen and three-quarters of an inch wide by twenty-five inches in length. It weighs eight pounds and thirteen ounces, and rests on the bench or table at three rubber-padded points. The three feet are adjustable by turning any of the large plastic knobs to level the vise on the bench top. The V-shaped fore end rest and the vise jaws are well-padded with a soft urethane type material that conforms to the shape of the piece being clamped, and it holds the weapon very securely. The front fore end rest is adjustable vertically, and the distance between it and the vise is adjustable from about one and one-half up to twenty inches. The rest can be set up for the convenience of either right-handed or left-handed users. Along the side of the vise is a very convenient holder for a cleaning rod. Nice touch.
