Can someone give me the exact length of the entire tool and the length of the cut for the pin end. Here is a photo of one of the tools. Thanks.

I smell reproduction plans! You gonna stamp it "MM"';-)?

Why Chris how dare you!!
These are of course originals. It's original if I make it from something, right? I'm going to get with Gordon on this one and we'll flood the market!!
Really I ask because I've seen several for sale lately and I want to know if they are original or close to being original.

Mike,
Check with PK he made one for me using a steel pistol cleaning rod. Looks just like your picture. Didn't I show it to you at Knob Creek?

No I didn't see that one. Must have gotten side tracked after the show. Oh, Rust, I'll mark mine "MM" on one side.

Okay, Mike, here we go....
All dimensions are in inches.
OAL 4.625
Shaft dia. 0.175
Tip length 0.512 (with very slight radius from tip shaft to main shaft, not a perfect 90)
Tip dia. 0.070
Ring OD 1.1 (side to side)
Ring OD 1.2 (top to bottom)
Ring ID 0.755 (side to side)
These dimensions were taken from a spring tool stamped KNM (Norwegian Navy)
Good luck!
Roger

Mike,
I made an error on the posted tip diameter. It should be 0.107, not 0.070. The 0.070 number just didn't sound correct when I posted earlier, so I rechecked it. Sorry for the confusion.
