I went to get some gunsmithing done on an AR. I've used them in the past for pistols and been happy. I pulled out just the lower and the gunsmith got wide eyed, put his hands up and backed away like I had a live grenade. I was told that it was their policy that they wouldn't work on any ARs. Unbelievable. Any alternatives for gunsmiths in the area that aren't afraid of icky rifles? |

If the stake is hard to defeat I may have trouble. I don't have a vise. |

Thanks to everyone, especially those that offered help. Much appreciated. Glad you got it done! Nothing like being able to do it yourself while we have to deal with this nonsense in IL. |

Since the supreme court doesn't appear to be stopping these we may be in this for a long time or maybe forever. I'm worried that this will just embolden IL further... |

Yeah, it is seriously disappointing that Illinois can strip your rights away in a weekend, but the Supreme Court of the United States is on the slow boat to hearing any cases about it...
