Hey Guys,
I bought a used Kimber Mountain Ascent. Came with everything... box, manual, cover for muzzle brake threads if you remove it, etc. However, no tool for removing/installing the muzzle brake. The Kimber website and manual say to only use "the supplied tool". The guy I bought it from doesn't remember having one or what it looks like. I can't find one on the Kimber website, but the muzzle brakes say they come with the tool.
Maybe if we know what it looks like the seller can find it in his garage. Or do I really need it?
Any of you with Kimbers with muzzle brakes, please give me your thoughts, photos, etc.
Thanks!

not a Kimber MB but I have used a few way back when - a larger center punch, a larger size screwdriver, something that fits perpendicularly through the holes with enough left outside to get ahold of - might be loctited on, never can tell but a VERY QUICK wave past the threaded area with a torch might help loosen but I think I'd try w/o first - usually pretty fine threads - IF you use a wrench or channel locks you'll no doubt leave machine marks on it - someone else may have a method I'm not aware of if they've used them much but you'll have to talk loud

So maybe my MA didn't have on either and previous owner doesn't remember seeing one. Kimber doesn't list them for sale, and of course Kimber doesn't answer their phone.
But it looks like the guys' other suggestions of an allen wrench or similar will work just fine as that "tool" doesn't look to special, other than the diameter is right for the holes.
Thanks, everyone.
