AUSA – Ontario Knife

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

Here are some photos of the new Weapon Tools from Ontario Knife we told you about the other day.

First, the M240 tool. You can see the claw design as which alleviates the frequent problem of hard to remove spring pins. This tool allows the operator to quickly remove a bent or defective spring pin from the weapon. It will also prevents spring pins from being bent by efficiently extracting the pin, thus eliminating undue wear and tear on the pin.

Next is the M2 .50 tool, designed to assist the operator in setting the head space and timing and disassembling and assembling the weapon. It also significantly reduces the time it takes to set the head-space and timing and facilitates the rapid disassembly and assembly of the weapon for daily preventative maintenance and critical operator functions.

Last, but not least is the tool for the Mk 19 Which is designed for clearing and break down of the weapon.
