I'd be lying if I said I hadn't use the odd socket as a reaaaallllly long washer in a pinch.

But no - never on a firearm. ;

Yeah I totally agree, 5/16 would’ve been better.

 

[franktank]

You should try something else...

9/32? That’s a weird caliber lol

Improvising isn't always easy! This is pretty cool though!

Your friend must be a “welder”. Even an ugly fix is better than the trash heap.

Is it in the equipment exchange and if so, how much? I think many are missing the practicality of this conversion. In a case where extraction is difficult, one can simply increase leverage by inserting an extension. There is also a failure to appreciate the attention to detail. I mean, he took the trouble to index the handle so the designation is on top for a little extra touch of class; as if any more were needed.

Welder? Maybe JB Welder.

7/8" socket would have been better....then it doubles as a tire wrench/jack handle

All I see is a tactical bolt knob

Or welders.

I wish I'd had the presence of mind to document some of the shadetree gunsmithing I saw up North.

I've received/witnessed alot worse than that cob job.
BUT
I cut the DIY junk into a couple pieces & sent it back to the cobbler!

If you welded an identical socket over the bore for a "makeshift" brake then it could be sold as a "numbers matching" on the EE.
