[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Side Sling Adapter

Posted: 6/29/2004 2:02:00 PM EDT

Hey guys. Do I need a punch to install a side sling adapter? If so, where's a good place to get one? Brownell's or anyone else? (I haven't even gotten my paycheck this month and I'm already planning out how I'm going to spend it.

) Thanks!

Hardware store will get you the drift punch you need.

Thanks Lumpy. I'll check it out. By the way...where are my daily pics for gun nuts lately? I'm having withdrawals!

It takes 3 hands to punch the pins in the adapter. I've had better luck using a Leatherman and just pressing the pins in with some elbow grease. I've done 9 this way and saves time and energy and no scratched parts.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's a Leatherman? Is it one of those multi-tool things?

Yeah it's a multi-tool with needle nose pliers. I got tired of chasing the pins across the floor from trying to tap them in and tried the Leatherman out of desperation, and damned if it didn't work slick.
