[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Best way to remove the trigger guard roll pin***SUCCEEDED! NEW QUESTION

Posted: 8/1/2005 9:47:29 AM EDT

Question. Just got my MagPul trigger guard, and Im not sure how to remove the roll pin. I tried gently hitting it out with a punch, but it doesn't seem to want to move.

No directions came with the trigger guard, is there some way that i'm missing to get this roll pin out?

I use a punch. Just the the correct size, and *support* the other side with a block of wood. Just get it moving, then it will be easier. Biggest trouble here is failure to support the thin ear of the trigger guard.

I just use a punch or the proper sized drillbit if I cant find a punch. Shouldn't be that hard but they can be a bit stubborn.

It was very stubborn...had to use a black sharpie to touch up a little ding on the lower reciever...

any better way to touch up?

Yep.

Frisbee it out onto your driveway.

You won't even notice that little scratch.

Seriously, I don't worry about them. They all seem to add up too quickly for me to fix anyway.
