Abstract

An apparatus is set forth to spread a pistol stock or grip relative to the associated framework of the pistol to permit ease of removal of the associated stock from the pistol framework. The tool includes an elongate rod, including a handle member transversely and integrally mounted to an upper end of the rod, with a head member mounted at a lowermost end of the rod. The head member includes an elongate rectangular cross-sectional member, including arcuate corners spaced from and parallel to the axis of the head longitudinally aligned with the rod. The kit includes a series of further head members selectively mounted to the rod, wherein the head members include a tapered wedge-shaped member including planar sides and arcuate tapering corners, as well as a further wedge-shaped member defined by an elliptical cross-sectional configuration. The tool further includes at least one sleeve member slidably mounted on the head member to provide various cross-sectional configurations for insertion within magazine wells of pistols of various dimensions. The sleeve is formed of a rigid cellular or polymeric material, as are the head and further head members utilized in the kit assemblage.
