| I`m looking to get an AK front sight tool. What is the best one to get? Tapco? Chinese? |
|
Get the Magnamatic. The Tapco is a POS that might work or might not. I had a stubborn front sight post that would NOT turn (elevation, not windage!) and the Tapco simply bent out of shape and was then useless for anything but a paperweight. Bought the Magnamatic, and it worked like a charm. I have used it on 3 different rifles since, and windage adjustments are so so much easier. The quality of the Magnamatic is like comparing a Snap On Wrench to one made in China from the bargain table at a dime store.

Are you sure you didn't have one of the Chinese made tools TAPCO used to sell (and replaced with their US made one free)? The Chinese made tool TAPCO replaced did just what you have described when I used it. The replacement US made tool has worked 100%. |
