The need to adjust the front sight on an AR is a very uncommon issue these days, as at least in the Marine Corps, all rifles feature some sort of optic, most commonly the TA31 RCO.

The ⅜-inch wrench works as advertised, but the front sight adjustment tool is a bit of a niche item, given modern weapons advancement. The MUT’s tool repertoire is downright exhaustive, with a claimed 16 tools, and the possibility for further expansion with aftermarket accessory kits. If it doesn't, we will gladly repair or replace it, at our discretion, with one of equal or greater value under our 25-year guarantee for tools and 10-year guarantee for lights. I can only complain so much about the size and weight of the thing, but once again, it’s almost 6 inches long while folded, and weighs over 11 ounces.

The MUT includes a safety feature that is used in other Leatherman multi-tools, but you might not have noticed.

But after owning several swiss army knives and several multi-tools, I always seem to wander back to just carrying a really good, strong, folding knife. This is used to clear double feeds, brass above the bolt, or other serious malfunctions, and there’s an additional extendable arm to aid with this.One of the first things that popped out to me was how much lubricant the MUT came soaked in, likely for rust protection in transit.

If you are missing this first part (so need the MUT as a handle), the rod will be too short to reach all the way through the barrel. Compared to the earlier photo of the MUT when it was on its own in the holster, the flap now sits higher up on the pouch front, but remains perfectly secure.The strap and line cutter shredded an old backpack strap and some loose MOLLE webbing I had lying around. The bronze carbon scraper uses the material that it does for two reasons: first, because bronze is softer than steel, so there’s no risk of you marring the finish of your weapon; and second, because carbon doesn’t bond to bronze the way that it does steel, which means that cleaning the freshly-scraped carbon off of the MUT should be as simple as wiping it down. As a door gunner, being able to break apart machine guns in flight was a top priority and this tool does just about everything for that purpose and more.
