Thanked: 13245Guys just a quick search on e-bay shows plenty of bench vises under $10 and if you have swap meets or flea markets you can buy them for $5 all day long....
I would really suggest picking one up cheap if at all possible, they really make razor work much easier....
That being said, if you have other ways of doing it using even more common tools please post the pics...
I will also post a pic of an actually pinning block which is basically a 3/4 inch thick piece of steel with a 3/32 hole drilled through it... anybody with a drill press will do that for you, if you buy them the bit
They usually end up costing more than a vise when it's all said and done, and they don't do as much....

Thanked: 13245
OK OK I'll go double check, but I think they are 7mm Rem Mags with Barnes X bullets on there, I was loading some custom loads for a couple of guys up here, and I can't remember which those are, either .300 win mag or 7mm.... Next time I'll make sure to get one of the custom rifles in the background, and really get ya going..... I forget a lot of us straight shavers are gun nutz too......
Yes the RCBS I like better for loading rifle calibers, I use Lee and Lyman for most of my handgun calibers....Last edited by gssixgun; 08-07-2008 at 07:48 PM.

Thanked: 0??
I'm confused, you only pit the pin through one scale? was this just to demonstrate? normally you would put the blade and the other scale on too yes? Thanks and sorry for my ignorance....

No problem it is a legitimate question....
Yes I just did a quick pining on a set of scales for a demonstration, as I wasn't ready to actually pin a razor while I was taking pics... That is actually a set of scales in the pic... Normally in between the scales you would have three things... Two thin washers called "bearing" or "thrust" washers for the razor to ride on, and the razor itself....
Some of the vintage razors did not use these but most did, I always use thrust washers when I build scales....
Hope that answers your questions!!!!
