Sacramento Johnson #6873 66 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Howdy! Awhile back I saw an ad in the chronicle for such a tool. Can't find the ad now. Anybody know the place or have a link to their web site? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

Snakebite Dust SASS 75484 5 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Something I recently discovered that works really well is the craftsman flat round pocket screwdriver. It has four size sloted screwdrivers on it and the largest one works well in all 3 of my 73 and it doesnt take up much room in the cart. I think they are a couple of bucks at Sears.

Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 64 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I have a Magna-Tip 360-3 screwdriver tip that works just fine. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=41568/Product/MAGNA_TIP_SUPER_SET_BITS There is a trick to getting that screw out the first time. That italian gorrila at the factory must have a real grip on the impact driver. Set the rifle butt on a pad on the floor and get your wife or some other trusted person to hold the rifle steady. Place the screwdrive in the slot and give it a good wack with a hammer. The screw will come out without much effort at all. YMMV Chancy Link to post Share on other sites

Buckshot Frank 0 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I finally got fed up with mine after bending hacksaw bladed and putty knives. I put a strip of duck tape over the edge of the magazine plug to protect it, and grabbed it with round jaw vise grip plyers. I figured that I would just order a new plug if it got chewed up by the plyer teeth. Fortunately, the duck tape protected the edge, and the cap came off. Link to post Share on other sites
Sacramento Johnson #6873 66 Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Howdy all! Thank you for your suggestions! Think I'll go with the slix-slot tool first; if that doesn't work, I'll try some of the other suggestions. Link to post Share on other sites
