Definitely recommended

Brownells USA Good tool 15/01/2015

Used this installing a front bead that needed to be indexed. Wasn't sure if I would need it or not but I am very glad I ordered it. When I first installed my sight I was probably 300 degrees from where I needed. Used this to shave the bottom until it was just snug with about 90 degrees to go. I would have certainly snapped the small 3-56 screw off in the hole had I not had this tool. Highly recommend, if you need it, you NEED it. Only bad part is I probably won't use it again for a very long time.

Brownells USA Does What It is Designed to Do 13/09/2012

Used this tool as a result of a Guntech recommendation to properly index a Meprolight Mossberg 5-40 threaded tritium bead. The #6 intended for 6-48 beads, worked like a champ on the 5-40 threaded shank.
