   Guys,
The fellow in this video has a barrel bushing wrench made especially for the Automag III (and Automag II I assume?)

Start watching at about 7:50.

He never says where that tool came from, and Google doesn’t know. Does anybody here have any leads?

	A bazillion years ago I happened into a lot of fairly rare stuff. By rare, I mean stuff I've never seen. Guess what one of the items was? Yup! As soon I get more proficient on my machine, and can program it properly, this is one of the items I was going to make and offer.

	…and I in turn will seek to modify the design of my 357/44 Auto Mag magazine loaders, and make a similar model for the Automag III. Look for those early next year….

	I feel like i have seen maybe a couple of them that went with a gun that sold online. Here is a couple that came with the 2nd 30 carbine that i picked up a while back. The one is clearly a homemade but i am not sure on the other one.

	Now, this bizarre. Someone posted a link previously, and the person had a pink(?) one. I was watching YouTube videos regarding the AMT-III two days ago, and someone had a pink(?) wrench in one of the videos. I've never seen another wrench like this, and now I've seen a pink(?) wrench twice in a matter of a couple months. Same person? Who knows. Looking at this wrench closer, this one appears to have a smaller hole just below the large hole. My original does not have that hole.

	Yeah, when you compare they are for sure different. All I can go off of is the picture but to me the purple/pink one looks like it was machined from aluminum and anodized. Maybe a machinist was turning them out and selling them at on time. Bit of a strange color choice.

	Have you yet "become more proficient with your machine" yet? I think making up some of these is a really good idea and would sell. I have a metal one I made but it still requires fiddling with the plunger and I have only two hands.. This one addresses that shortcoming. GO FOR IT!

	Thanks for the encouragement. I have the preliminary done. Prototyping was excellent. Having a slight "issue" with etching/engraving, but that should be cleared up in a week or so.
