no, I have a USGI tool for that,



and one that works for dovetails,

either are similar to what is pictured

It's a thing a ma jig for sure. It has a ring that slides over the round part that i forgot to put on. It does seem the set screw comes down to depress a flat spring and i think something if not a bolt slides over it and you back off the set screw off letting the flat spring up. Thinking about it it may be related to a 1911 slide or frame as stated above.

Looks like a sight pusher of some type. Those are firearm specific. Don't think it has anything to do with a 1911/1911A1.
The screw a hex screw?

I could be wrong about this tool i repair and restore Lionel Train cars and engines this looks like a tool for holding the shoe and rivet on a Lionel operating car the rivet picks up power with a control and power track #1019

It's worth a search, the screw is a hex.

I'm wondering if it might be home made. Might not have anything to do with firearms either.
Webster's says "Thingamajig" is one word. 'Thingy' is a term used by computer techs but it applies too. Snicker.
