    What?

    That's a conveyor loading bulk material onto a barge and I daresay it's never once been used as a wrench on a sidearm.

    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

    Curious how it was made, or if they are available for purchase. I like not having to occasionally chase down the recoil spring plug.

    Interesting idea, wouldn't have been much use on mine with an extended compensator bushing.

    If you can make a dimensioned drawing of the required shape I can 3d model it and print you one and/or send you the .stl so you can get it printed locally.

    Where does that line form?
    Meanwhile I'm struck to mill a couple out manually; if you can call a K&T 2D 'manual' ��.
    40 years on I still call it magic, and most sheer fun you can have, standing up.
