Mr. McKee:
In association with Kirk Merrington, we once offered a fixture like this. If such is what you are thinking of:

FWIW , if I really need to scrub the bore I put two pieces of wood inside the jaws of my bench vice and tighten it up on the barrels and then scrub away .

No. Not available generally any longer. But I might have enough bits to put ONE together. Maybe. But it would be $200 delivered IF I have the bits...

I use one of these, but it looks like some models might be backordered.

I use a vise similar to this. It has rubber attached to the wood jaws. Jaws swivel and allow a stable platform on unsymmetrical items as well. Align the SxS barrels as an O/U. Very slick. Other companies sell the same. Just look for the wood jaws with rubber.

I bought this homemade one at a gun show about 10 years ago. Works great.

Same vise. Quite a bit less expensive https://www.infinitytools.com/carver-s-vise

Edgar,

I agree. I don't remember who I purchased mine from but they look to be all the same and range in price. Thanks for posting the less expensive version.
