Swivel Jaw Parker Vise ?
As a full time rifle maker I have looked for a good working condition 4" to 5" jaw Parker for many years. I have found a few that were pretty useless and beyond repair and I have missed 2 good working examples on the web by just hours. If anyone has or knows of a rear swivel jaw vise for sale please contact me at 435-755-6842 or echolslegend@comcast.net
Thank You D'Arcy Echols |

D'Arcy, what you want is a Number 272. Good luck finding that one, I've been looking for years. I have one which for all practical purposes is the same, but not marked by any maker.

I've had a trainload of Parker vises, but never one of those. So the stationary jaw can actually swivel. How about that.

Edgar, that looks like a late Parker vise - what year span was that model made?

It's post war, but I'm not sure how long it was in production. Reed & Prentiss, individually made a similar one. Those two companies merged, and still exist today. Their vises were much less expensive than the 282 Parker. I just figured out, the one I have is a Prentiss.
The first one is a Reed, the 2nd, a Prentiss. |
