Morning Everyone,
I bought my first AR-15 Saturday and I'm loving it, but I'm having a small problem. I can't take it apart to clean it! I have popped the removal pin all the way out, but it will not come apart at the back of the lower receiver at all. Any suggestions of what it is I'm doing wrong or missing? Thanks |

I was able to get it apart. Popped the FA a couple times still nothing from the back.
Taking the front pin out I was able to get separation there. From there I was able to get the back to come apart as well. It doesn't look to me like the buffer was to far forward. I put it back together and was able to get the back to break free, just took a little more force than I expected. Thanks everyone for the advice, I was expecting to be lambasted as a newb! |

Quoted:
Mine was really tight the first few times I broke it open as well. They loosen up with use. Oh, boy. What somebody could do with that line, but I won't go there! Okay, it's actually good that its tight - shows that the upper and lower fit so close that they rub right there where the upper closes. Just rub a little grease there on both parts - just a little with the finger tip. Most ARs have a little gap there and that's why, but nothing like a tight one. |
