This tool makes it possible to more conveniently handle the "selector"
element on a conventional M16/M4 family weapon when the selector must be
removed or reinserted. As will be appreciated by those in the gun repair
trade, in the disassembly or reassembly of such weapons the handling of
the selector element is a tricky and painstaking activity. This disclosed
tool handily is an assist in such activities. The tool is inserted in the
opening in the receiver of the selector element and rotated. An offset
circular cam means on the tool when rotated will handily depress the
detent element (which necessarily must be done and it also has a spring
beneath it). A bumper end cap at the distal end of the tool will
carefully engage the selector element to gently push on it if needed (or
in the reverse operation for the tool to be gently backed away there from
as the selector is repositioned into the weapon). A longitudinal groove
on the cam means will signal to the user when the proper rotation has
been achieved to adequately depress said detent element.
