    Pascal,

    Welcome to the carbine forum. We have members from all around the world who visit out forum.

    As for your question.
    Are you meaning an original GI rear sight tool, or an aftermarket version? The reason I ask is there would be a considerable price difference between the two.

    We have a classified section up it the tool bar. There you can see what others are offering for sale/trade. You can also put in a WTB (want to buy) post, asking for an item.

    Sometimes I've seen originals on Ebay.

    There are also venders that sell original, and aftermarket tools. Here is an aftermarket one I saw M1 Carbine Rear Sight Install and Removal Tool M1 M 1 | eBay

    I don't believe there is an issue sending a tool to Belgiumicon. But you might want to check with your local area to find out.

    I hope that is of some help.

    Jim

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    M1 carbine rear sight tool

    Hello Jim,
    Thank you for the answer.
    There will be no problem to send the tool to Belgiumicon.
    I saw the article on ebay, this is the tool manufactured by Fulton-Armory.
    This of course depends on the price, but it is obvious that I prefer an original M1icon carbine rear sight tool, but so far I can not find.
    I collect mostly U.S. equipment, living in a region where was stopped the battle of the bulge.
    Again thank you for the help.
    Sincerely,

    pascal

    The originals are few and far between and when you do find one they are very expensive. Good luck on finding one and I hope it's an original one for you.

    I sold one a couple years ago for $275, I'm sure they are higher now.
