Recommended Posts

More information please:

 

For which model?

 

Do you require a historic tool or simply a functional one?

I would prefer a historical removal tool but would certainly be interested in a functional one too. I need the tool for the 1928 Thompson. I may check out the Belgium dealer but prefer to purchase one in the USA. Thanks,

I use a nail or a puchout and they both work great. I can send you one of mine for $50 http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/tongue.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

Assuming that you have a transverse hole in the end of your pilot, any piece of wire or rod small enough to pass and strong enough to withstand the spring may be utilized. A 3/32 pin drift from the hardware store works admirably.

 

I can’t help with a source for a historical tool, other than to say I have modified steel cleaning rods to approximate same.

I use a paperclip. My GI tool doesn't have enough space at the rear of the bolt to work properly. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif

I must be completely lost, normal for me I know.

 

Are we talking about the hole in the buffer rod that you shove a little finishing nail into to hold the spring in place whilst you reinsert the buffer rod, buffer and spring back into the upper?

 

Didn't know a tool was needed or even available.

Does anyone have any thoughts if it would it be legal to purchase this historical tool from Belgium? I know importing gun parts is a big no-no; what about gun tools? Thanks,
