The AKFST line of AK-47 front sight tools are the first AK front sight tool to be made to the levels of strength and durability the AK end user or manufacturer expects. No extra tools are required. The AKFST have 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 is 400% stronger than the current generic “C-clamp” type tools. Now with the AKFST you’ll never have to re-buy a front sight tool due to breakage on a frozen AK sight. The AKFST 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 4.5 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. 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.

Dan,
I got out to the range with my Arsenal SLR-107UR that you worked on (thanks again!) and to my chagrin, the standard Tapco front sight adjustment tool wouldn't fit on it. I never would have known. So I guess now I've got an even better excuse to buy your AKFST tool once funds allow.

| Great looking rifle! Rifle Dynamics (Dan and Jim) do a great job. Thanks for sharing the pic. BTW I have the tool already and it's built like a tank. |

I used a dremel to grind metal away in the appropriate spots to clear the block. It still works for the other rifles too. |

Hi AggiePhil, If your sight tool stripped the threads it is the first one.... ever..., and I've delivered thousands to customers that actually sight in thier guns. The AKFST is covered by a limited lifetime warranty, 920-889-8669 . |
| Hi Dan, I sprang for the gunsmith edition and can't seem to get it to fit on my SLR 107UR. Do you have any recommendations: such as I should have bought the standard edition? I really want to make it work because I love how rugged the gunsmith edition is. Let me know your thoughts please. |

The Tapco doesn't fit the SLR 107UR, but does fit my Draco, just need the vise grips to get enough leverage to move the drum. Was hoping this would be the ticket. Hopefully Dan has some advice. |
