The AR platform has taken the world by storm almost since its inception. This has a lot to do with its truly awesome modularity. Think of it as an adult variant of a Meccano set. You can create a weapon tailor-made for every conceivable demand of your mission. The upgrades and customization choices for your build are almost endless, and no other weapon system comes even remotely close to this aspect of the AR-15 platform.
Add to that the vast number of high-performance aftermarket components and accessories, and you can see why it’s the all-time favorite centerfire rifle platform amongst civilian gun owners, soldiers, SWAT teams, and law enforcement officers alike. It’s very simple, really. The average AR-15 owner is well and thoroughly spoiled for choices when it comes to customizing their rifle. Apart from swapping parts, you can actually modify your weapon to fit all of your exacting requirements.

However, you will definitely need the right instruments if you are serious about modding your custom build. Here, the most essential tool would be a top-notch barrel extension vise (BEV). Luckily, the good people at Magpul understand the seminal importance of just such a tool—and they have created the perfect BEV Block for your rifle. Since the Magpul brand is practically a synonym for quality firearms accessories, you need not worry about that score as far as their BEV Block is concerned.

It is possible to use the BEV Block to swap the buffer tube or change your LPK. You can also make changes to your weapon’s upper assembly.

Your Magpul BEV Block has solid steel lugs designed to grip your weapon’s barrel extension. Rest assured, you will always have a slip-proof grip as you work on your AR platform. The BEV ensures that its grip is rock solid and practically unshakable—regardless of the amount of force you exert onto it.
This vise is constructed with weapons-grade polymer and comes with steel support for unsurpassed strength and reliability. It has a shank support system that stretches for its full length so there would be no chance of flexing and bending even when you apply your full strength on this block. It can even be flipped over and converted into a magwell vise block as well. You absolutely need the Magpul BEV Block in your toolkit if you want to create that perfect AR!
