[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Removing Front Sling Mount

Posted: 3/26/2016 5:36:12 PM EDT

What's the best method for removing the pin that holds the front sling mount under the front sight? I'm sure I could slowly dremel the pin on the non-head end, but I'm wondering if it would be easier to just punch it out? If properly supported underneath, it looks like a small punch or nail could be used to just punch the pin through. Can someone confirm this please before I give it a whack and mess something up. Thanks.

judicious use of a pin punch is how I removed mine.

Use a flat file and file off the mushroomed end of the pin. Once removed, use a punch to finish the job.
