Any recommedations on a bench vise or cleaning station for holding long guns? I'm looking for something that will last and is adjustable that's not a plastic POS?

Might want to rethink your comment...My plastic POS has been doing its job for over 30 years and still going strong. And yes, it gets lots of use. I purchased the original MTM model RMC-1. Here is a link showing a picture of what it looks like. Shop around and I know you can get a better price.

Got the same "Plastic POS" and it's been working for over twenty years. I've seen some wooden ones, but as long as my MTM works I don't see any reason to replace it. I can spend that money on guns.-Tim-Comment

If you dislike plastic, and aren't a woodworker yourself, no problem.
Just do an internet search for the various hobbyist woodworkers' boards on the internet, and locate a few hobbyist woodworkers in your area by putting in a suitable query posting.
Its reasonably certain that you can make some arrangement (offer some $, or help with something they need) with a local hobbyist woodworker to make a nice hardwood gun-vice, or gun cleaning rack, or maybe several, to fit specific guns. Use strips of good leather from old trouser belts to pad the points which actually touch the weapons.
A wooden gun cleaning rack can be clamped down to a nicely finished kitchen or other table without marring the table surface, by getting the little 'stick-on' dots of felt available in hardware stores, sticking a pattern of those to the underside of the gun rack, and clamping with a 'Jorgensen' type of woodworkers' clamp, which has wooden jaws.

Sorry, I didn't mean to ruffle and feathers. I've seen a few cheap, flimsy plastic ones that are not worth the price of the box they came in. Thanks for the recommenation and model. I'll look into it. -gIf ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.

I have one of the MTM. Don't remember how much it costs, but it is decent. I do a lot more handgunning than Rifle, tho. But still....
Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...
I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

I've had a Tipton for a while now
I got it 4 years ago for Chistmas / Don't know how I got along without it
I have a whole gun cleaning station built around it--------------------------------------------------------------

I've got the "base model" Tipton as well. Had it about three years. It does everything I need it to do and has been well worth the prince.... and I bought it on sale.
