I tore down one of my rifles getting it ready for a cerakote job next week... and for the life of me I can't get the trigger guard roll pin to budge. I installed a Mapgul polymer guard about 6 months ago and it went smoothly. Didn't have any trouble inserting the roll pin... can't imagine why I can't get it out. I'm bracing the lower very well and I have not been lightly hitting... using the correct size punch and moved up to a 1 pound sledge makes no difference, i'm worried i'm going to break the lower. I've also soaked it in brake cleaner and clp, no change. Any adivce?

Most of my ARs use the plastic Magpul trigger guard.
I got into the habit years ago of inserting a brass ferrule into each of the 3 holes and using a button head Allen screw in at all 3 points. With Photobucket hosing the old threads, it's a crapshoot finding the threads that had the trick in 'em with photos to show how to. |

I just removed and replaced a trigger guard. Lightly hitting is your problem, they can be very tight. Oil it up and hammer on it. |
