    Gunsmithing screwdriver bits

    Does anyone know how to get replacement bits for Wheeler gunsmithing screwdrivers?

    Apparently Midway are supposed to have them, but they will not export outside continental US, as will Wheeler..!

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Getting bits from wheeler is a royal pain in the buttocks, you have to call them and most of the time they don't have stock. I buy from Brownells most of the time.

    It's not a wheeler set, but I got this set
    https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020941337
    couple years ago on sale for $60. I use them with my wheeler torque driver. I have found a very tight, perfect bit for every milsurp I have. The small screwdriver doubles as a T handle for the big driver. With a perfect fitting bit the extra leverage twisted out otherwise frozen buttplate screws.
    EDIT: In the UKicon https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/re...crewdriver-kit. A bit more expensive, but these are soooo well worth it.
