| Anyone got a good suggestion for a front sight tool? I stripped the threads on my Tapco tool, the other night and I"m not quite zeroed in. Anyone make a better tool or should I just go with the dowel and mallet thing? |

+1000 for this one. I have one and love it. Works great on both european and chinese stuff (some of the others won't work on chicom stuff). |

TAPCO advertises a life time guarantee on their brand name products.
When the Chinese made sight tools they used to sell began to fail, they designed their own tool and gave one to everyone who had purchased one of the Chinese tools and asked for one of the new ones. |

The problem with the tapco style ones... at least on 2 of the 3 that I've had over the years, was that the pusher was too big to fit in the windage drum area of the norinco rifles. They worked fine on european stuff though. I guess a person could file the thing down to work with the other ones, but who wants to do that when you can have a really nice one like the b-square? Not me.
A long time ago, I did have a chinese made one that was the type tapco sells (can't remember where I got it), and it _did_ work on the chinese AK's/SKS's. Unfortunately, I have no idea what ever happened to it. I must have left it at the range one day.

I've never seen anyone try to put the tool into the hole for the sight drum. It would seem to me that before that happened, the front sight post would contact the side of the front sight base.
