Nothing like making an ass of oneself as an intro, but I've exhausted Google over this...
The TG on my M4 has 2 obvious roll pins. The trouble is the forward pin has no through channel extending through the bolt release side of the receiver. Common wisdom states this is a spring-loaded pin, but its not the case here. There is a black plug of some sort that will not depress with any of my punches i it appears to have a roll pin around it. I'm losing hair over here. Thanks, guys. ~F |

The front pin is spring loaded, not a roll pin. There's a whole "Build it Yourself" forum with excellent instructions on installing a lower parts kit you can reference. Thank you - watching the TG portion opened my eyes. What I thought was the roll pin was the edge of the threaded insert of the plastic Magpul TG. With better lighting I was able to see there was a very small hex insert inside of it. Removed it without issue. |

Yeah, that changes things a little bit, but sounds like your figured it out. Great resources on this forum. It's where I came in 2004 when the sickness started and I wanted to assemble my own "M4gery." Just take your time, be patient, and if in doubt, read /watch "it" agai.
