 I am looking to pick up a two point front sight tool but cannot find one, does anyone have any advice on where one can be found? |

Gunthings.com has them under FNFAL accessories. It works on the sights and the gas regulator. http://gunthings.com/ |

Most of the front-sight tools are total shit. You will wring the tool-tits right off the first time you try to turn a sight that gives any resistance. The front sight threads right into the front sight block, and serves as a gas plug. The threads get completely carboned-up, and often corroded. Use lots of penetrating oil if you ever have to adjust the front sight. Use a steel punch to get the sight started moving. Once it gets started, pull it all the way out and clean up the threads. Re-install the sight, and zero the rifle for elevation before the threads seize up again. Then never try to mess with the front sight again. |

Attached File Sorry for two years old thread resurrection but I ended up just making my own out of an old socket. This might help someone in the future. Inside diameter is .250 and outside is .380 If you can find a socket with the outside wall that approximate dimensions it's pretty easy to cut it down with a Dremel and hand file to fit. I used a 6mm socket. It also fits really well in the sight adjustment grooves in an Aimpoint Pro! Thanks to the dude above who made it from a piece of pipe for the idea. |
