| How hard is to remove the buffer tube to attatch the sling? What tools do i need and how do i do it? |
|
You mean, remove the buffer tube to swap the end plate for one with a sling attachment point? You need a castle nut wrench and some muscle. :) If it is staked don't worry about it, you can muscle through it pretty easily.
Also, be careful not to loose the little retainer pin detent. |

Anyway back to why I replied You can also buy mounts for 1pt sling like the PR-4 by Tango Down . There are several other mounts Then you dont need to take anything off? Some Telestocks / Extn. are a pain to get off |
| There is a great video (or 2) on the Brownell's site that I just saw yesterday about this. They have like 24 pages of "how to" videos with a ton of them dedicated to ARs alone. I ended up watching all of them just to become more familiar with different tools and procedures involved with breaking down, and maintaining these things. |
