Abstract
A tool providing a means to safely extract and/or insert a roll pin from the trigger guard assembly of a lower receiver unit of an automatic or semiautomatic rifle. Current tools fail to provide positive engagement and support of the trigger guard region, particularly the trigger guard lips which can easily be snapped or fractured during a roll pin extraction or insertion process. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides an improved means to align and support a lower receiver unit by means of complementary mating and stop regions that secure the lower receiver in position while providing one or more cutouts that accommodate protruding levers and buttons on the lower receiver. Some embodiments feature a contoured top section having at least one of a plurality of surface features selected from a cutout, a mating region and a stop region; and a roll pin receiving port.
