Hello, I am currently in the process of disassembling a Stevens 200 rifle with the purpose of putting together more of a long range gun.

My question is, does anyone have any plans or recommendations for a homemade action vice. I've seen them for sale online for around 50 dollars but would rather not pay that much to use it once or twice.

Also would it damage the recoil lug or action if I built a vice that also used the lug to stop if from turning. I found some plans online for one made of wood but didn't know if it would be a good one to use.

Thanks in advance, Kyle
