If and when you start doing some of your own gun maintenance after a good set of screwdrivers you will need a good bench block. The one that they sell most often is a small metal type with an assortment of holes, slots that is hardened and ground it is often called a gunsmithing block, locksmithing block. In reality it is a jewelers or watch makers block. I have one made in India that I have had for years and used for jewelry and model making. When looking for a bench block if you go with the style below look for a genric bench block rather than a named smithing one, which will always cost you way more.
They do work for a limited number of jobs
I recently needed a better one for some sight work on the MKIV Ruger I purchased. I came across this one on Amazon
Made from non marring urethane, I have found that the larger size and specialized cut outs are better suited to work on firearms.
Since it has two different sides on the block, it does come with instruction of how they are used.
