The AKFST-GS of AK-47 front sight tools is a heavy-duty GUNSMITH EDITION of the standard AKFST. It has a larger clamp to handle the most stubborn front sights, and a 6.5" long torque arm to give you even more leverage. No extra tools are required. The AKFST-GS has a limited life-time warranty - if the tool breaks under normal use, send the tool back to Magna-Matic for a replacement (see www.magna-matic-defense.com for full warranty details, terms, and conditions.) The UNBREAKABLE AKFST-GS is 900% stronger than the current generic “C-clamp” type tools. Now with the AKFST-GS you’ll never have to re-buy a front sight tool due to breakage on a frozen AK sight. The AKFST-GS also makes range adjustments even easier, don't let a frozen AK front sight force you to run back to your shop to make adjustments. The AKFST-GS comes in a custom plastic case to keep the tool clean and organized in your range bag, tool box, or tool chest.

IMPORTANT
The 6.5 inch long torque arm provides a greater accuracy in sight adjustment, because with a longer lever it requires less pressure to make a smaller motion. Which allows you to be more sensitive in your adjustment.

WINDAGE! The ultra-strong full-circle clamp provides 100% positive contact to the sight post. The heavy-duty full-circle clamp and over-sized push rod provides the strength to move the most stubborn frozen sight. Perfect alignment of the drum is easy by viewing the drum through the sight adjustment port of the AKFST-GS.

ELEVATION! The precision machined tip of this adjustable T-handle wrench seats onto the sight post to give you a 100% positive hold on even the most frozen of sight posts. The long lever, which is able to be positioned for greater leverage makes adjustment simple and easy. Note: the T-handle rod can slide to any position to provide more leverage, all images are shown with max leverage.

*** CUSTOM CASE - the AKFST-GS comes with a custom plastic case, great for range bags, or keeping your professional AKFST-GS front sight tool clean and organized in your tool chest. (see pictures above)

That's a really nice looking tool. Hopefully the price will be able to come down in the future, as I see that being the negative to an otherwise great looking tool.

Bought the original version, not the gunsmith. Have to say I'm a little disappointed with it. It's beefy for sure, but doesn't work with a hooded front sight, and the hole in the elevation wrench that fits over the pin on the sight is difficult to use because it's slightly too small.

I'm not gonna toss it, but was hoping it would be a bit more "universal" than it actually is...
