[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1040659, member: 8362"] The one in my shop was made by B&J Machine. I've been using it for about 4 years now. It has its place, it is not a cure-all. I think any sight removal/adjusting tool , such as either one of these, can be a useful one. I have encountered some sights I can't move with the tool, they need a little 'persuasion' to get them started, then use the press. The tool can , also, be used to fine adjust a fixed sight. Sight base (dovetail) files can be useful, but, I've seen some slides that will 'drag the teeth right off of a file' they are so hard. They have their place, considering what I've seen the damage some nobs can do with a hammer and punch. When the new sight you are installing is too tight, then relieve the dovetail with an appropriate file or , better yet, adjust the dovetail on the sight if you have the skills. Work slowly, once the dovetail or the sight are over cut, you've #@&!-up. [/QUOTE]
