    These are becoming difficult to locate ?

    I wonder if the new retro AR-15/Colt 601 collectors are familiar with this tool ?

    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.

    I have about three of the new ones but you don't see the old ones at all. They would have gone out as soon as the slotted flash hider replaced the prong flash hider, the eyes at top would have then been useless...except for retro builds.

    M16 and M16A1 tool

    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...
