Identical to the one David had and showed me when writing the book except his had a brass ferrule on the end of the screwed part. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the hole in the knur;led end pullthrough weight sized? You're right about removing barrels! Just a solid clunk on the workbench and out it plopped!!!!!
Like lots of these 'special tools' such as the zeroing tools and extractor stay tool, they really served no useful purpose EXCEPT to look good afterwards!
When TGOD book was being edited prior to publication, some further photos were submitted - by the PR I hasten to add - which included this tool. They described it as a 'blank firing adaptor' That's the problem of others adding stuff without your knowledge after submission.......

Interesting tool. Thanks for posting the pictures. I am always interested in Sterling stuff and that’s a tool I have not seen before.
I loosen the screws a bit and if the barrel doesn’t move, I give the screw heads a little tap with a brass hammer. The only one that didn’t pop out was bulged near the muzzle. It was a reproduction barrel. They bulge a lot more than the original barrels if you get a squib load.
I would love to see your collection of Sterling guns, etc.

At least this tool has it's purpose stamped into it, unlike the elusive piece that RRPG has been trying to get identified for some weeks.

I feel in my bones that RPG's tool - if you'll excuse the phrase - is something from a .30 watercooled Browning. Maybe something from an AFV - something to accommodate an external water cooling something or another
