050806020221 1911 Hammer Squaring FileNEW FUNCTION FOR THIS FILE !!!!!!!! 05/08/2017
HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW USE FOR THIS AWESOME FILE & WANTED TO SHARE IT, WITH MY "SHOOTING FAMILY"..........
NEEDED TO INSTALL A MIL-SPEC PICATINNY "RING RISER" ON TOP OF A #11 WEAVER BASE & DISCOVERED THE WEAVER BASE SLOT IS UNDERSIZED IN BOTH THE DEPTH & WIDTH. GOT OUT THE FILES & WENT TO WORK ON THAT SLOT & THINKING "DON'T BLOW THIS. GOT TO KEEP THE BOTTOM & SIDES OF THE SLOT 90 DEGREE SQUARE".
AFTER WIDENING THE SLOT IN THE BASE, I SUDDENLY THOUGHT ABOUT THE FILE IN QUESTION. 2 SAFE SIDES & 2 VERY FINE CUT SIDES, WOULD BE PERFECT TO FINISH CUTTING THE NOTCH. MEASURED THE DIMENSIONS ON THE FILE & THE NOTCH ON THE PICTATINNY RISER---DIMENSIONS WERE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO EACH OTHER !!!!!!!!!! SO, IF YOU EVER HAVE TO MODIFY THE SLOT ON A WEAVER BASE, REMEMBER TO USE YOUR 1911 HAMMER HOOK FILE & CHALK THE CUTTING TEETH WHILE IN USE----OOORAH !!!
A must have tool 17/08/2010
I used this on my hammer (1911) which after looking at it under magnification needed help. I was able to file my hammer hooks straight and true. It cuts really nice and without a lot of effort. Save the edges on your stones. Use them for polishing up after you square the hooks. The safety edges are nice and flat and I imagine this will last a very long for hobby smith like myself. I am thoroughly please with my pistol post trigger job. This is a worthwhile investment.
