Neat little Tool

[Rustship]

Has anyone tried one of these? just came across it. Looks really neat. That little pin can really be a bugger, this make it look a little easier.

I happen to see the same items, but think they were on GB.
Could be very handy as I've ruined a couple post war front sights by bending the ears. They don't like to be bent back !

Another tool you've never even thought of until you've done the uh-oh.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Gottum today !!

Here are some shots of Steve's tools and the instruction sheet.....

If they work half as good as they look, you can't miss. This is quality looking stuff...

Yep, looks pretty neat. I ordered one yesterday for both sights. I feel sure that it will work real good. You can look at the fixture and just know that it will be solid when you start hammering on a solid surface, and that's what it takes to get that pin moving.

I had the pleasure today to buy one of these sight blocks in person from Steve. I haven't used it yet, but have no doubt that this will do a great job. Real nicely milled.

Steve is a very knowledgeable guy who took the time to show me a number of things I didn't know about my own meager collection. Looking forward to talking with him again.

Still waiting on mine. How does it fit?, and did you get the one that fits both the milled and the cast?
