I believe these early tools are not common to find. They will not fit the first type prong flash hider only the second type. I seem to recall there was a different tool for the type one prong flash hider - anyone recall ?

Yes, with three posts inside a circle. Here's a thread we had years ago showing pics that survived... Also I'll carry the pic here...

Thanks Jim for locating the photo and older posting. Really interesting tool for the advanced collector
