What is this for?

My son-in-law picked up a new 12 ga over the weekend and this part was included and neither one of us can figure out what it's for. Since I don't do shotguns...thought one of you guys might fill us in. Thanks.

Looks like a choke tube wrench... Seems to have more than one function.

I'm guessing the long part is used for pushing pins out for disassembly. The stepped part is choke tube wrench for 12 and 20 guages. This way the tool works for both. The curved part by the hole could be made to fit a large screw slot, like on a magazine tube cap? You don't say what gun it is, but that is my best guess.

They are typically called combination tools. What model gun did it come with?

It's a multitool. The long thin part on one end is for pushing out takedown pins, the two stepped parts in the middle are 12 and 20 gauge choke tube wrenches, and the curved part on the other end is a wrench for the magazine tube cap. The hole is for hanging it on a lanyard or keyring.

Bought a Chinese made pump, maybe? H&R Pardner Pump, or a Nork 870 clone like a Hawk 981 or 982?

Exactly, Lee. It's a Chinese made New England Arms 12 ga. Thanks for the insights, guys.

Like this one? http://www.nefguns.com/item/74466_HR...1CT_VR_BL.aspx I have a couple of them.

Should turn out to be a good utilitarian shotgun. It'll take about 40 years to know if they hold up as well as their US made 870 counterparts, but so far they seem to be doing OK. And imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
