USGI Bob.. Some questions?

Those (2) spacers aren't really there.

Damn I'm going blind !
I see my error now.
The nylon tip held up on the removal of a adj.
Will be hoping it holds up on the R and R of the 2 Flips I have to do.
I like your adding the card stock for some extra protection against marring.

We had about a foot of snow that mostly melted away. Wife had to shovel it (twice) my shoulders are giving me trouble. Now getting pretty cold with a good chance of snow Sunday. Off to pick up my Daughter and Grandson from the airport later this evening. So projects on hold until after the Holidays.
Will be auctioning off parts for a friend soon. Have a nice WRA Spring tube receiver I guess I'll have to list on GB. He paid too much at a estate auction for it. Had a Import marked barrel (RMC) with a badly cracked gas cylinder. He was the one who (after I removed it) bent the barrel over his knee. Bent it in to a perfect U shape. Walked out with it P!ssed off. I wanted it..... thought it would look neat hung up. Like a carbine that shoots around the corner !!

Thx.. Be safe

I have used the same matrix rear sight tool with no problems when removing and installing a flip sight. Put a thin piece of wood or plastic between the nylon tip and the side of the flip sight so the nylon tip doesn't rub the finish on the flip as it spins.

On the first "push" with mine, I just put the white lithium grease on the tip hoping it wouldn't rotate. Didn't work - ended up learning how to clean smears of brass off the parked finish. It's a good idea to put some lube on the threads, though. Learned that while working in the shop and finding gear and bearing pullers with galled threads because somebody before me had used them dry. Good luck with that airport traffic! - Bob
