Prentiss Vise Score

[gpstraub]

I've been on the hunt for another vise for about a year now. The 5 inch Reed I have is fantastic but it's just way too much tool for most of my jobs. Yesterday I came across a guy who had an old Prentiss for sale. The thing was in spectacular shape and the 3 1/2" jaws were a good dowsize from my Reed. I got it home and a little PB Blaster and some axle grease has this thing smooth as butter. I've just been sitting here with my Pabst Blue Ribbon and staring at it

Thank you. I thought I was the only one weird enough to do that.

The fella was asking for $75. We haggled a bit and I ended up giving him $55. I felt like I got a decent deal.

Normally, I would totally agree but my beat up 5 inch Reed lacked some of the finesse needed to work on some of my smaller gun parts.
