So I really need to barrow a socket for a glock front sight screw. Went shooting today and it came loose. I have a 5/32 but that's to small. I live by Quincy and picadilly if anyone could help.

I've got a couple in Ft. Collins, but you should know that some of the gun-specific driver kits have one included. I've got the Wheeler Engineering one. That's why I have some. I'm sure someone in your neighborhood has one.

Not sure where Quincey is... Do mean Quincy... Just giving you a hard time!

I'm near Tower and Hampden. Come near me and you can use mine.

It's not a specialty tool, buy a nut driver at your local tool supply.

Will need socket that does not have back bevel or it will not grip the thin little screw head.

I picked this tool up last year when swapped out stock front sight. Has been very handy addition to range bag.

Easy for you machinists. What about the burr on inside lip?

I started to grind one down and decided for $20 I needed a new tool.

Otherwise it would have been an excuse to visit my friendly neighborhood smith.

Using a grinder ? the burr is easy to remove, but it's a secret. Next time you grind something round, try rotating the part [Beer]
