AR-15 FRONT SIGHT BENCH BLOCK
Where can i get one? Everytime i go to Brownells they are out of stock. Every time. I go weekly. Are these no longer in production? Is there a competitors that does the same thing? |
Both Brownells and Sinclaire are saying out of stock/no backorder - dang I wish I had gotten one all those time I meant to.  I didn't see any similar products out there in google land. Maybe if you put a WTB in the EE someone will sell you theirs if they don't need it any more. How many fsbs can you install?

Well i have needed it 3 times in the past year, and didn't have one, and three times now i took a rifle to a smith to have him tap the pins out i couldn't get out. So at $15 a time, i could have bought the tool, but i can't find it.

Quoted: There is a better one from ADCO.
ADCO's is better ... but also "out of stock" at this time.... |

So after following others advice above i went with the ADCO. 2 words to describe this:
BIG MISTAKE. What a hunk of crap. The Front sight doesn't fit, the holes are slightly off center, and contrary to what someone posted above, it does NOT have a round channel for the barrel. There goes $40 down the tubes. Next time, i go with my gut. Oh and the Brownells one is in stock now.

Even while holding the FSB to the block firmly there is still enough give while hitting the rear pin that it doesn't come out easily. I had to destroy two different rear pins on two different FSBs.
