TOOLS
Countless firearms, old and new, bear the marks, burrs and gouges that are the result of using the wrong tools for taking them apart. In the interest of preventing this sort of thing, I am including here a group of tools that are the best types for the disassembly of firearms. Except for the few shop-made tools for special purposes, all of those shown here are available from one of these three sources.
