Why? The parts are proprietary so there are no replacements.

Planning on hitting the whole setup with some Cerakote.... i plan on reassembling it with the same parts so I'm not worried about replacements so long as I don't break anything.... which is why I'm here :)

Sparty; have you given PWS a call and asked them?
Seems like the first place to check. |

Yeah I have! I sent them an email before I came on to the forums. And true to their reputation, their customer service is awesome and they got back to me straight away but unfortunately due to ITAR regulation they couldn't send me any kind of "shop manual" and just said that they don't recommend taking down the upper beyond removal of the BCG and handguard. Thats why I'm here!
I'm not too worried about it though... I've tinkered with my guns in the past and have never really had any problems... I just dont want to have to wing it when im taking out the gas key and messing with the barrel nut so i figured I'd see if someones done it all before |

Would you consider doing a write up if you do take it apart?

not necessarily a "shop manual", but this should be helpful

Can you just plug and tape the parts you don't want covered? Ear plugs work great for the barrel and other openings.
