You are capable of doing it, but it does require special tools.

Even with the propper tools removal of the FSB is very difficult without damaging the FSB. I had to cut mine off to get my FF RAS on then put a PRI flip up in its place.

Depends on what kind of upper you have also. If you have an LMT or a RRA, it's much easier than with a Bushmaster or Colt. However you may find that by the time you bought tools it's easier to just send it to a smith.

LMT and RRA don't use taper pins, Bushy's and Colts do. Actually once you've done a bunch of them they usually aren't difficult anymore either, knowing the tricks.
1. Large Hammer 2. Large strong punch 3. At least 3 hands

Cool! I dont think I have done an RRA come to think of it. What kind of pins hold the FSB in? Just straight ones? |

I am pretty capable, and have most tools needed but I would not and did not even think of doing my own install
Too much at stake- dollar wise as well as quality wise. $60 is a small price to pay for the results I got |

Why do you have an armorers wrench, and a receiver action block, if you arent willing to use them? |

Thanks for the information. I went ahead and had the people at Adco put one on my upper, it was there getting a vortex. It does not look too complicated but I don't have the necessary tools and also I am not all that great at putting things together or taking them apart.
 I figure that by doing it this was I will save myself money in the long run. Thanks again for the info.

Correctomundo, they are straight pins. They still fit plenty tight to hold the FSB on without a problem, but they are easier to deal with. Jason |
