So I have a quick question, if someone was to lend me a breakdown tool and I was to make a handful would this be ok, not trying to make money off of it and would only make a dozen or so because I want one as I owned one with my last R9. I do not think there is a patent on this tool like the base plate one that is no longer made either. So would this be alright with making someone mad because then I would not even think of doing it then!

I don't believe anyone would mind? Your talking about the RJ tool right?
-
If your talking about the RJ tool, can I be on the list for 1 of the 12 you make?
-
I would also like to buy one if/when available.

I think its a great idea, one I had thought of, but hadn't looked into. Nice to see you take the initiative! Keep us informed...
-
Yes I'm talking about the RJ tool, I used mine all the time when I had my previous R9 so it would not be the same without one.

I agree. I do miss that tool. It makes reassembly a snap.
-
I must not be doing it right, I used a chopstick today, didn't't get the pin in, gave up and just used my hand the way the manual suggests re-assembly.

I think you (If your are ready with tools and flat stock)should just go for it.
You know what to do.
Make it any length you like.
Play with chop stick or tie wrap end.
Play with paper clip (I think both sides of "U" should be double)
Making some may be fun or major P.I.A
I too would like to try one, along with all the other stuff.

Ok I will just need someone willing who ownes one to send it to me so that I can duplicate it or maybe even improve with others feedback.

There has to be somebody out there with a spare tool you can loan to Gary to get this project off the ground.

The specs for the "RJ Two-in-One Takedown/Reassembly Tool" are here on the Forum and can be found using the "Search" function. They can also be found by experimenting with an ordinary chopstick, just as RJ did in creating the tool before his death. However, with regard to lending one of the tools, mine is inscribed by RJ himself and I wouldn't think of lending it any more than I would lend my Framingdale R9.
This entire "tool" subject is merely the product of curiosity by some owners seeking an easier way to deal with the takedown/reassembly process of this extraordinary little pistol than that pictured in the factory manual. In fact, no tools are really necessary if one truly understands the pistol's design. For example, the entire process can be accomplished by careful compression of the slide-recoil assembly on the edge of a work bench if hand strength is not sufficient or vicegrips are not available.

Hi Richard,
I would not argue that point, though I owned an old RJ tool along with a holster which went wth my old R9. I can take down and reassemble the R9 without any tools as I can with many of my firearms. To me I like to bring things back to be very similar to what I owned before, the R9 with CF grips and a serial number within the same range of what I had prior, which is what took me awhile to get another.
Your tool sounds like a great piece to treasure, so I would not lend it out either, I figure there might be someone out there with an extra that they can spare and if there is not then I guess I will decide after that. I plan on doing these by hand so that is why I would rather have a model then just numbers.

Gary:
Good luck in your effort. And I didn't mean for my previous post to have an "edgy" tone. The last thing I want to project in my so-called "golden years" is the image of a crotchety old SOB. ;)
-
No worries, I respect your opinion just want to make this cool item for some of us.
-
No one out there that has a tool to lend out?
-
PM me and I will send you mine.

PM me and I will send you mine.
Thank you. MRC for sharing your tool. Hopefuly it works out to make a few. I know they work great.
-
I tend to be kind of a practical sort of guy, and the best idea I saw was the guy on here who made one out of an old tooth brush handle. A little grinding and maybe drilling a hole and he had one.
The Engineer in me made me jealous I did not think of that.

I've got the tools confused...is David's tool the black plastic form that fits the R9 barrel slide to push back the slide, or is that the RJ? I thought RJ was the chopstick, which I've never had or used. David's, if I don't have them confused, makes the job so easy that I actually enjoy cleaning the R9...unfortunately, I'm in process of moving to Florida and tools and such are packed and unavailable. Can anyone send closeup pictures of David's tool to Garymass?

Thanks MRC, I sent you a PM.

Hello everyone.
I would like to see how much interest in getting an RJ style breakdown tool. The reason I ask is because a member who has made them in the past and may make them again if there is enough interest, so please respond to this and I will create a list.

John---RJs tool was the brass "chopstick" with the notch cut in one end to use on the recoil spring when you reassemble the pup. Very useful!
-
What is the price of the tool?I may be interested, thanks.
-
It will depend on the quantity ordered but should be within a few dollars of the original price which was $33. Obviously because it's been a couple years I would expect a small price increase just due to the price of brass increasing.
-
Actually the purpose of this thread is to determine if another run is worthwhile if there is not enough interest it will cause the per piece price of the machining to be unacceptably high.
-
I'd take one at least for stuff and grins!!
