Cheap DIY Bench Block for driving out pins, etc.
« on: January 11, 2024, 12:30:06 AM »
For all general gunsmithing type needs ...

Only a few bucks each at sports stores ... the hard rubber orange hockey pucks make simple ‘non-marring’ DIY bench blocks!

All of my muzzleloaders will shoot into one ragged hole ALL DAY LONG ... it's just the 2nd or 3rd & other shots that tend to open up my groups ... !

The orange training pucks are significantly heavier than a regular hockey puck if I remember correctly from growing up, but are they harder too?
