Reforms Feed Lips For Improved Magazine Performance
Feeding problems and jams in your AR-15 can often be attributed to bent or malformed magazine feed lips. This easy-to-use tool is designed specifically to bend the feed lips back into place, so they guide the cartridge body like they re supposed to. Trying to straighten the lips with pliers can create rough, unsightly gouges, or worse yet, cracks in the metal that can t be repaired. The machined, steel shank with bevel cut and slot allows you to hook the lips and keep them supported, while you tweak their angle of contact on the cartridge case. Helps you recondition those old magazines, and saves the cost of buying new ones.

Brownells Feed Lip Tool
This simple tool is used to adjust the feed lips on AR15/STANAG magazines. Sometimes the feed lips are bent, too tight, or too loose. There aren't any instructions on how to properly use this tool, but using logic I was able to figure it out. I'd say that this tool isn't totally perfect. It can/will still mar the feed lips slightly especially when opening the lip clearance. It left half-moon markings on the feed lips although there wasn't any physical damage. It is a fairly basic tool, and I'm sure you could make your own using a thick screwdriver and a die grinder to cut the slot. This tool wasn't too expensive, so it was a good and inexpensive addition to my AR15-specific tools.
Overall: 4/5 stars, instructions or techniques to assist the user would be great. It still marred my magazines slightly.
