Name This Tool - What is it?

[rsako]

To All "fellow" Smith's and DIY Smithy folks out there...Ladies and Gentlemen:

Let's have a little Fun identifying some Old and New gunsmithing tools that might be laying around in your toolbox or just laying around the bench. OR perhaps you made a new tool to make life easier and you'd like to share it.

Most Important:...PICS for Identification with notes if able.

"What was it built for?"..."What use?"..."What is it?"...or, "Why should I even keep it?"

I'll start...Because I found this particular tool in an Lot bin i acquired some time ago. It still stumps me...It's not even as old as me! Looks fairly new and pro-built. I have no idea what it was built or meant for.

Notes: The arbor is .311-312max" Looks like it could be a sight pusher..kinda. But the sight would have to be extended beyond the muzzle. Perhaps for an SKS or 303 Brit with modified sights. Keep in mind that it is a "one way IN" pusher. The Allen key screw has a flat brass pusher insert (looks blued in the pic). The arbor is fixed and perfectly centered.

Go..for your thoughts on this one??

It looks hand made. Id say the set screw is to mount it and the rod is a guide for some kind of milling operation.

WRONG
It's a MOUNT for a flux capacitor.

I have the exact item in my parts drawer and it marked B-Square on it.
I was told its an attachment for sighting in rifles with offset scopes.
It could be someone feeding me BS but it could be correct.

It's a flayrod that's gone askew off treadle.

Couldn't see anything in the current B-Square catalog, but it's in one of those trendy flip-page formats so I might have missed something. But you could send them (Safariland Group a pic and someone might be able to identify it.

Could be used for that. Allows a bore sighter to be mounted further from the bore access. High scopes, etc.

Pretty sure its a spanner for narrowing confinement beams on the dilethium crystal matrix of a matter/anti-matter reaction chamber.

I would use one quite regularly when I used to repair automobiles. It is a muffelometer used to check the run out on muffler bearings.

 

[Markus]

It's a Tavor trigger lock
