The "What Is This?" game

No, not a spanner.  But it is a tool.

[yamahonkawazuki]

used in music?,  and addy I gotcha. I spose I should have went further with my answer. but that's okay would have been rough with choices to post

[Watcher]

used in music?

No, but the thing it's used on is capable of some very loud noises.

[yamahonkawazuki]

used in firearms?

[Watcher]

It is firearm related.

Firearm combination tool of some sort - like the old Mosin Nagant one? they only have a single notch though.

[marcusk]

Is it a gauge for measuring firing pins or something similar ?

[Badot]

Not according to the thingamajig in my closet

Heh - you are right - there seem to be a few flavours it seems. Good call.

Right about the firearm, right about the combo tool, wrong about the number of notches because, as you can see, mine has 4...  I have two, one for an M44 and one for an M91/30, both are identical.

Gotta give it to you, marcusk, as you are the most specific.


It's a "go, no-go" gauge for firing pin protrusion on a Mosin Nagant pattern rifle/carbine.

The two inner of the 4 notches are sized to minimum and maximum depth.  The larger one should slide over the firing pin (go), the smaller one should stop on it (no-go).  If the smaller one goes, you are too short.  If the larger one does not go, you are too long.

If you are out of spec, the tip (flat screwdriver) can be used to adjust the depth of the firing pin.

The 2 outer notches are just relief for the edges of the bolt face.

Ok after finding a way to downsize a pic on ipad here it is .  The micrometer is for scale the little silver bits are the item they are a set and come from inside something.  This could be a bit hard but is the only interesting thing I could lay my hands on.

I just hope the pic worked out.

Come on, they aren't that powerful.

Watcher nailed it I was worried it might be to obscure .  On a funny note I was woken up by my wife yelling because she had her finger pinched between them.  And that's as close as I could get them together and as close to the Mic befor they started to get excited.

I'd like to add on... the outer notch with the rounded top is used as a firing pin wrench (I haven't heard of adjusting the pin with a screwdriver before) and the cutout in the middle is supposedly (I haven't tried it yet) slid over the handguard/barrel band spring to help pop the bands off. Also the flathead can be used to remove the action from the rifle and remove the trigger spring... then not including disconnecting the barrel from the receiver I think after that it can be completely disassembled by hand.

Yes, you are right about the large slot being used as the firing pin wrench.  I usually just use the screwdriver in the slot cut in the end in the cocking piece to adjust it, I had forgotten all about it.
I haven't heard about using the loop to depress the barrel bands, but I just tried it on my M44 and it's physically impossible.  Even if I could fit it over the bayonet, the handguard appears too thick for the hole.
It might work on the first band of an M91/30, though I can't try it on mine as it's apart for smithing at the moment.
But even if it works on the first band I don't think it would make it all the way to the second band...



Anyway, what is this?
