The armourers horse, do you attach it to a bench but how do you use it probably a daft question is it missing any fittings and i presume that you need a vice for the jaw protectors.

Armourers horse bolts onto work bench and rotates about the bolt-through axis hole. Swings out in order to rest the rifle on when rifle held in the vice

Parker Hale used identical bench horses to A.J. Parker and I am sure many other rifle manufacturers did as well as armourers. All been stated previously about holding butts etc.
There is a No 4 Foresight adjusting tool and also a Sergeants tool for black powder Enfields, with a tool bender and stretcher.
