Method and apparatus for splitting a delta ring on a rifle

摘要

An apparatus comprising a tool body having parallel columns extending from a common base. The base includes a lip extending outward from the columns defining an anvil for receiving a delta ring. A cutter has a body slidably disposed between the columns. A blade extends outward from the cutter body in opposition to the anvil and is aligned by transverse guide pins extending through guide slots in the columns. In operation, a section of the delta ring is positioned between the blade and the anvil. The blade is driven toward the anvil by any of various mechanical, pneumatic, and/or hydraulic mechanisms connected to the stanchion and blade, the simplest of which is a bolt extending through the cutter body and received in a threaded bore in the base. Preferably, the anvil includes a slot for receiving the blade at the extreme of its travel as the ring is severed.

1. A tool for splitting a delta ring on a rifle, comprising:
a tool body having a base; first and second spaced apart columns extending from said base; a lip extending from said base defining an anvil adapted to receive a first portion of said delta ring exposed by removal of a handguard of said rifle; a cutter body slidingly disposed between said columns and having a blade extending in opposition to said anvil; and, a machine bolt that extends through a smooth bore in said cutter body, said machine bolt threadingly coupled to said tool body to drive said cutter body and said blade toward a side of said delta ring so as to split said delta ring to remove said delta ring from said rifle.
