Sleepswithdogs Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Any recommendations on which action block fits best on a VLTOR upper? Thanks in advance, Tar Edited August 8, 2012 by Sleepswithdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic2377 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Do you prefer a clamshell type block? If so, I'm not sure. I have personally used the DPMS action block (that utilizes the take-down pins to hold the upper, DPMS part # TL-PRC) with success. I would imagine it would be less likely to pose problems with the VLTOR considering its beefier outer profile. Some people have expressed doubts regarding the strength of the lugs for the take-down pins, but I have not experienced any issues building 3 AR's.

Ya, I was wanting to use a clam shell type but wasn't sure how the VLTOR would fit it. Sounds like I better go with the DPMS. I appreciate the offer but I'm not even in the country, I'm in Texas.

Sleepswithdogs Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've found a vice set over at Joe-Bob's, it includes blocks for both the upper and lower for $42. I think I'm going to get it and use a Dremel to get it to fit the VLTOR upper. It's cheap enough that if I can't make it work I haven't lost that much.

Ragnar Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I use a dpms block rotated 90 degrees with a wood block between the top of the receiver and jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 A VLTOR does not fit in the clamshell without modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
