Thanks guys,
Couldn't see how it could be used on a carbine.

THx,

His description is way off base. He says it is from 1941. It was first developed at Rock Island in 1950 and did not get into production on early 1953.

Some guy spend over $40.00 for a $10.00 item.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when the "buyer" is holding the "tool" in one hand and a carbine in another... "let's see, insert this tab into that hole...wait, maybe this will fit right there..." At what point will the buyer figure out that he got taken???

I've got one that was part of an M14 cleaning kit that I picked out of a dumpster behind the supply room nearly 40 years ago. A lot of old M14 stuff was trashed when we went to M16's. I wish I would have picked out more of the junk back then.
