Park Vise

[damnesia]

Here's something else that I picked up from an estate sale this weekend for $20. It believe it's a Parker 974B and I think it will clean pretty well. It doesn't have the jaw inserts which apparently is going to be a chore, but I'll try my hand at making some.

I'd shoot it.

Good idea, wanna hold it?

Curious to what is that steel plate and allen head screw all about on the front

Haha, Tetanus and lead poisoning.

It looks like a Union Parker, which had a jaw design that is much easier to make than the original Parker design. The flat plate for engaging the screw is a Union Parker feature. The Allen head is a later replacement.
