I want to remove the standard BB that was installed on my RRA lower and install a Raddlock "convertible" BB.  How do I remove the standard BB from the lower?  I cannot figure it out to save my life. TIA.

You need a tool to unscrew the internal screw.
Hopefully there isn't any red loctite on it.

You may be able to back the internal screw off enough with a mini screw driver to get a regular screwdriver on it to unscrew it the rest of the way.

I made a tool out of  a slotted screwdriver bit.
I dremeled the middle of the blade away leaving two small ears so it looked like a litte two tined fork.
That gave me quite a bit of leverage to get the screw off when put in a screw driver.
Mine was only locked with blue loctite.

If it has red loctite on it you will have to use a heat gun to break the bond.

I move every 2-3 years - see my tank for reference...

I didn't want to register all of my "Assault Weapons" while in the PRK so I put bullet buttons on several of them.
