Tool ?
 

What kind of tool is this?

Align front sight.

Thanks...for what gun?

I rather doubt it, but I do not know its purpose. It looks like a spanner for assembly/disassembly but for what weapon I have no idea.

some idea of the dimensions of that item would be helpful...........

See if this helps

Looks a bit like a spanner for a muff pistol.

Here one http://pirates.missiledine.com/image...rew_barrel.jpg

Thank you sir. What type of gun is that? Would the spanner have any value?

Muzzle loading pistol.
That tool is useful if your barrel is screwed to the receiver.
Many other guns, like for instance the one that I use at the range (a reproduction of a LE PAGE pictured below) have different and surely more practical locking systems.

Regards.

So, no value or use for modern type, but does it have a collector value for an antique.....I assume maybe like luger tools that are collected.

It looks too new to be original - it appears to be a stamping. Pretty advanced technology [stamped parts] for a flintlock pistol... :(

Looks similar to the one in Lou1900's photo next to an oldernlooking gun. Maybe a modern tool for an older gun?

Nope. That's for loading the pistol, not cleaning.

It's a two part barrel that unscrews at the chamber area. You just put the powder and the ball on the chamber and then screw back the barrel. No hammering of the ball down the barrel needed.

Interesting, I'd never seen a pistol like that.

Italians do those in black powder !

Hi Patrice

Here not many people shoot muzzle loaders, I started this interesting way of shooting only in 2013.
With muzzle loading guns you're supposed to use only black powder like the Swiss one pictured below.
The catalog of your link is PEDERSOLI's in it you can find also the pistol that I use:

:thumbup:

I will start that next year, or at least, I will take a course organized here by a local association, both pistol and rifle.

Then see if it takes me I will continue, if I can find some time between the various other shooting I do already(25m pistol, dynamic pistol, 300m rifle) ;)

More or less like me, until about last year I used to do also some "defensive pistol shooting", now apart from muzzle loading shooting at 25 meters, I usually shoot at 25 m with a SIG P226 or with a 1911, at 100 m with a Garand, aaaaaaand 200/300 meters with modern bolt action rifles...


too much :rolleyes:

For me is:
25m: P210, P226, Parabellum 06/29 (sometimes P228 and Walther PP).

Dynamic: P226, P228, S&W629(.44 mag).

300m: Stgw 57, Stgw 90, K31.
