M1 Carbine Rear Sight Tool

[M1 Carbine Man]

Anyone know where I can purchase an M1 Carbine Rear Sight Pusher Tool? I need an inexpensive and reliable one.
Thanks

Can't say I ever heard of one.

The carbine sights were drifted into position and then staked in place; as M2 said, I don't think there was ever a dedicated too for it.

cuervo,

what do you mean by staked in place?

 

[cuervo]

Staking is a slight deformation of the metal to keep it in place.

Here is a good page with pictures regarding the staking on an AR15's bolt carrier key:

Well, www.m1carbineparts.com has one but it is $250, too rich for my wallet, so I thought I would check with this group. Thanks.
