| I want to remove the factory sling mount from the gas block on my Bushmaster M4. it's held in place by what I'd call a rivet. What is the best way to remove this? Drill the rivot out? hammer and punch? Thanks! |

I’ve done it both ways. - I’ve taken a pin punch, backed up the barrel with a block of wood, then knocked out the rivet. - Then other times I’ve taken a drill, and drilled away some of the shop head of the rivet, enough to weaken it. Then, backed up the barrel with a block of wood and knocked out the rivet. Check the tacked links on Pg. 1 for the thread on downloadable Mtx Manuals. |
I Dremel'd it out with a small cone shaped bit and then gave it a whack with a punch. I figured that'd be a better POA than going  on my FSB.I yanked all the factory sling mounts off my AR in favor of a rail mount. The only purpose they were serving was getting in my way. |
