I have an AR vise block that fits in the magwell and is super-convenient for maintenance work and light modifications. Does anyone know of someone who makes a similar magazine style vise block for AICS mags?
Thanks,

I've used nylon bar stock to make a 308 AR mag vise block. Was in a hurry so it wasn't pretty but it worked. If none are commercially available for AICS pattern, that might be an option. Not where I can look right now but any chance a large AR block could be modified?
I 3D printed a block for single shot feeding in my AICS for F-Class. It wouldn't be too hard to extend it a few inches and call it a mag vise block. Printed in solid PETG, it should be strong enough for this type of application. I'll try it out and report back.
I could be talked into doing a run of these things in aluminum.

I'd be in for one.
Could these be made to double as a single shot feed mag? I assume one would only want to use these for light maintenance?I could be talked into doing a run of these things in aluminum.

I’m in for one if you make them.I could be talked into doing a run of these things in aluminum.
To do this right that would end up being another part. Just basically a single shot "follower". I've done em before for folks, not a big deal.
With 223?
FWIW, a magazine works just as well imo. Throw the case in there, flick with your finger and chase it with the bolt. Easy.
I ordered the Crosstac AICS vise block from above and it came in today. Just handling it out of the box and fooling around with it I think it's just what the doctor ordered. Per the description there's four adjustment screws that allow you to get the block fit properly to the magazine well so there's little to no slop. My AX AICS required the most amount of adjustment because of its funneled shaped magwell but I was still able to get it on there snug so that it didn't rock back and forth. There's no lip on the backside to catch the magazine release lever, it's all friction fit, but I don't really see that as being a necessity to be honest. I tried the mag block on my AX AICS, an Oryx chassis, and a factory Bergara HMR and it worked with all of them, albeit they all required their own little tweaks to the adjustment screws. All in all I think it was money well spent.
They make a version for AICS/Vudoo, however I do not know if it would be compatible with the Bergara B-14R, may have to email them about that.
