I am trying to install a Hogue grip on my Bustmaster. What do I use to remove the old grip? Is that an allen wrench, cuz I don't think I have that size. Thanks

Yes. You need an allen key socket.

If it's an allen head, you'll need a 3/16" allen wrench. I prefer to use either a T-handle allen wrench, or a 1/4" drive socket with extension.

You have already answered all you questions in your post. I dont think you should have an AR 15. because you make Forest Gump look like a genius.

Just in case this is your first time doing this.  Be mindful of the selector spring and selector spring detent that sits in a hole in the top of the pistol grip.

Good point.

Also for those smart-asses above you, different manufacturers use different screws. I've seen both flat-head and allen head screws used.

Nice.   Remind me to ignore questions from you in the future.

Before you go any further, first, you need to determine what screw type that you have on your particular AR.
