1911 FRONT SIGHT STAKER

1911 FRONT SIGHT STAKER Reviews & Ratings

The Brownells Front Sight Staker makes front sight staking effortless, faster and far more accurate. Using an improved, offset punch design efficiently directs the full force of the hammer blow downward against the sight tenon. The hardened "V"-shaped tip easily displaces both wide and narrow tenons for a great-looking, tight-fitting front sight that won't shoot loose. It has a large square shaft that is easier to hold, see, and hit so there's less chance of a missed hammer blow striking your customer's expensive slide.

Great tool if it was usable
Tool came with the swaging bit installed the wrong direction, and whoever assembled it must've used a precision sledgehammer! I'm unable to twist or pull the swaging bit out! Makes a nice paperweight now I guess!
