I realize you're in a bit of a tight regarding a vise, etc. If you have a table, counter top, etc, this vise is very strong and tight. I have multiple bench vises out in my shop but use this (have 3 of them around my shop and house) frequently. I'm still surprised how affordable and well made this is. Though it's only w/ 3" jaws, it works quite well on firearms. Very tight tolerances (no jaw wiggle / slop) and smooth jaws.

If you google "homemade barrel vise" you'll find other options.

Good luck.
