Report: Rear Sight Tool

[USGI]

I just received a couple of tools from the eBay seller noted above in this thread. They look like very good quality. The company (Matrix) has a website and it turns out that you can buy some of his stuff direct and save a few dollars - same free shipping too. - Bob

I bought one back in October, have used it twice and it worked well. I have replace a ton of them with a wood dowel and hammer this is much easier.

In a hurry, I misaligned my Matrix rear sight tool a little and caught the corner of the sight dovetail while pushing the sight, chipping the edge of the delrin plastic end pad on the pusher bolt. My fault. I am very thankful the pad is plastic and did NO damage to my receiver as a result of my improper use. The tool was still very operable but, anal as I am, I e-mailed Matrix and asked if I could BUY another delrin tip for the pusher. David at Matrix asked for my mailing address and mailed several extra tips to me, along with instructions for easy replacement - no charge, not even postage. That is going the extra mile to stand behind your products. IMHO this is a great tool and a great company. ChipS

I bought every carbine tool they sell all for $100 !! The rear sight took on gunbroker by everyone's favorite seller in California ( haha ) is $250, I emailed the matrix guy and told him to start selling on gunbroker just so he hurts George's sales ! Sarco is selling matrix' rear sight tool with a HUGE mark up

I thought the nylon barrel blocks for a vice looked ok also $ 10.00 but I guess you could make your own. I could not see much price difference in ordering from the mfg.

The mfg is the guy selling on eBay

DickX's comment was probably directed toward this quote from me. After ordering from eBay, I found the Matrix website and saw a couple of items listed there that were cheaper. - Bob
