Does anyone know if it is possible to switch the sling swivel from right-handed to wrong-handed?

On the L & LC the sling mount swivels to either side. The LC stock mount is on the top and the Ls stock is on the o ly set up for right handed shooters though you could in theory remove the rivets, cut a hole in the right side to swap over the sling mount and use the piece to epoxy in place

Do you know of anyway to take it off to modify it? The ones on mine go about half way of where I'd want them. They stop inline with the sight base.

Anyone have trouble getting the barrel pin out? The front sight pin came out pretty easy but the pin in the trunion will not fucking budge. I have it soaking in Kroil right now so maybe that will help?

Try a bigger hammer?

I hit mine out with a punch like the video that's posted. Even did it on the same side(with the charging handle).

Biggest hammer and biggest punch I had. Well see if letting it soak in kroil for a week will work when I get home tomorrow.

If all else fails I will take it to my tool room guy to drill it out. Fixturing it might be the hardest part.

Got the barrel pin out. Had to have our toolroom guy drill it out after bending or breaking multiple punches trying to press it out on the arbor press and hydraulic press.

Now to figure out how to press the barrel into the new receiver without harming the receiver.


Got it all put together, ran 2 mags without any issues. Also after shooting the mags that came with the kit they smell exactly like cumin, anyone else's?

I was thinking about cerakoting all the furniture and kit parts black to match the receiver but this 2 tone look kinda fucks hard

Wow!  That looks great.  The black metal with the green furniture actually looks great in that photo and light.

I would leave it for now.  You can always color it later.

Yes - I think its Meta Cresol or some similar phenol - It also reminds me of the old Band-Aid Brand bandages that came in a metal tin.  Before they irradiated band-aids post manufacturing, they used phenols to sterilize them in manufacturing.

Sometimes I love the smell of bad-4-U chemicals like that or things like Hoppes Solvent, Old Cosmoline -

I bet some of us here would buy cologne called "Old Cosmoline" : )
