Handy for zeroing in
Well made, and works flawlessly on 2 retro AR builds. Only issue I had was there wasn't enough width clearance to adjust the 4 prong front sight on a B Kings Colt 733 clone upper. The issue is likely that this particular receiver wasn't built to mil spec, but be advised if you're using an upper from that particular company it may not work. Otherwise great piece to own.
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Thank you.
This thing is hard to find in brick and mortar stores but thanks to Brownells it’s available (when in stock) it’s a must if you have the Daniel Defense 1.5 rear sight or have a Colt 723 upper receiver (Gary Gordon rifle. It works great. I brought two because two is one and one is none.

It arrived with a little corrosion but a little CLP and a little scribe and chisel helped out with that. Other wise it looks military grade.

A1 5 Prong Windage & Elevation Tool
These wrenches work really great on the Brownell's C7 Carry Handle Uppers with the installed Luth Rear Windage Sights. The five-prong end adequately depresses the detent sufficiently in order to adjust windage without the prongs making contact with the carry handle and marring it. Additionally, I put a 3/8" protective cap on the 4-prong elevation part of the tool to protect the little teeth and to also keep the teeth from digging into the palm of your hand while using the windage part of the tool. Both parts of the tool fit and work as intended. Keep them stored in pistol grip of each rifle. Really convenient tool.
