I have never used a vise for cleaning in my entire life to be honest. I set on a bench with the rifle across my lap on an old turkish towel, actually in the shop I sit on a stool. I use the vise simply when I can't hold the rifle tight enough in my lap or arms. Bill :lol:

It's because the bench top is so piled high with crap that the vice wouldn't fit isn't it ? :lol: :chuckles:
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
