Wheeler Lead Barrel Vise Shims (4 Pack)

1. Protective Material: These shims are constructed from a soft lead alloy, specifically chosen for its malleable properties. This allows the shims to conform precisely to the contours of your firearm's barrel, ensuring a secure grip within a barrel vise without causing any damage, scratches, or marring to the barrel's finish.

2. Enhanced Grip: When placed between the barrel and the vise jaws, the lead shims effectively increase the contact surface and friction. This provides an exceptionally strong and stable hold, preventing any rotation or slippage during crucial operations like barrel removal, installation, or muzzle device attachment, which is vital for maintaining accuracy and safety.

3. Versatile Application: Ideal for a broad spectrum of gunsmithing tasks, these shims are invaluable for rebarreling projects, scope mounting adjustments, or any procedure requiring the barrel to be held firmly. Their pliable nature makes them adaptable to various barrel profiles, from heavy target barrels to lightweight hunting rifle barrels, ensuring utility for different types of firearms.

4. Preservation of Finish: By forming a protective layer, the lead shims act as a buffer between the hard metal jaws of a barrel vise and the delicate finish of your rifle barrel. This critical function helps preserve the aesthetic and structural integrity of your barrel, a significant advantage for both enthusiasts and professional gunsmiths aiming for flawless results.
