Well long story, but.... I am trying not to have to spend the money
but I will probably break down in case I need them again later. |

I've installed all of mine with nothing but a small screw driver. Put one end in the slot and use the screw driver to pry the other end over the edge. Then move the 3 points into the slot.
It takes longer to discribe than do. |

I assume you would have to have the barrel off the receiver or at least remove the front sight assembly to change a delta ring?

Too cheap to spend the 5 bucks? So go to a pawn shop and get a set for TWO bucks!
You can make do with a suitably sized pair of needle nosed pliers, if the tips are shaped right. But wear some sort of face protection as the tips might snap off or the ring may go flying off at any random moment, and at remarkable speed. CJ |

This is the method I use and it literally takes just a few seconds to install. I have run across some snap rings that are not the right design. There should be a slot area right behind the small holes and the small hole area should curve inward not outward. |

My barrel was SUPPOSED to come with the delta ring on it. |
