How do you remove the roll pin from the front of the trigger guard on the AR (the pin closest to the mag well)?  Just punch it out?  Thanks.

Do not try to punch it out...it is not a roll pin, it's a spring loaded detent.
Use a punch/bullet tip to push the detent in...this will release the front of the triggerguard.

The rear is a roll pin, which will require you to knock it all the way out.

+1 on spring pin,

its to lower the trigger guard when wearing cold weather gear. But I have never heard of anyone being allowed to lower it in the armed services. so its just a design feature that never gets much use....

Look at what holds the front pin and spring in the trigger guard.
