| I just picked up a lmt 14.5" carbine upper. While trying to switch out the handguards with a free float rail i ran into a problem with the fsb. I removed the pins just fine but the fsb will not budge. I tried putting a piece of wood against the fsb and driving it off with a hammer and it didnt budge. Is this pressed on? I have never had a fsb that didnt pull right off fairly easy. There was also some tan colored goop dried around the fsb when i bought it, it wasnt anywhere else. |

Well,
I've had to press quite a few of them buggers off... I have a hydraulic press which makes it easier... But a few wouldn't budge with a mallet... After cleaning and oiling is done...next is heat... I've when at a friends house resorted to a bit of heat then running ice water on the bore...actually Down it... Thing came off easy...but that's after the above two...and don't get things too hot...
