High Standard magazine tool - The Firearms Forum

Texas Hi Std keeps finding jewels in their drawing files. They bought the rights and all the drawings from Connecticut Hi Std when they went out of business in the 1980's. One of the latest finds (thanks to Bob Shea) is a very neat magazine lip adjusting tool. Hi Std's feed directly from the magazine lips without the aid of a feed ramp and lip adjustment is critical. Here are some pictures of it.

Sweet LD, thanks for sharing. I definitely need one of these because my attempts to make one have been less than stellar.

Any idea how much they plan on selling them for?

They are NOT cheap. $39 + shipping!

The 39 dollar price is nothing when you have magazines that are troublesome if this tool can get them back up to snuff. Great find LD thats the price of one magazine.

And will work on other .22lr/.22WMR/17M2/.17HMR mags as well...quite possibly other calibers too

I just ordered one today, price was $39.50 plus shipping of $10.00 for total of $49.50 and I feel well worth the price.
