As things progress, and the design matures, would it be possible for the feed stud to have a small hole in it, just big enough to stick a paperclip diameter wire into? It would make disassembly easier. |

It would make disassembly easier. Needle nose pliers work great for this. I thought everyone had them on their gun bench. |

The stud is hardened, you will not damage it unless you go full gorilla mode with vice grips, even then I doubt you'll leave marks in the stud. Part of my OCD is I mark all my cam pins so they always go in facing the same direction. I marked front on the stud on my L6 with an engraver and it only marked the coating, not the stud material itself. |

I figure the excessive wear parts would be the feed stud, the buffer spring, and not much else. |

By the way, we have units with over 20K rounds on the original feed stud. They will wear flat spots on the sides but keep working without issue. |

Of course, it'll come with a new upper receiver (may come in handy if PMC ammo blows your gun up for instance), top cover, etc. $2000 for all the parts you may need
