Have a 556XI Russian that I just received my tax stamp (SBR) for. Trying to remove the nut or ring holding on the pistol tube. Won't budge. Two of us with a pipe wrench cant get it to budge. If I remove the pin in the hinge can I take the whole thing off? I'm really beginning to HATE SIG!!! I feel like I've been fucked on the 551A1, 556, 556XI and the MCX. Even the P320. Outside of the 226 and 220 Sig has failed at every gun hey have produced.

1. You just received your tax stamp on a weekend when Sig's customer support is closed and because you feel you must put a stock on it today you're going to break out incorrect tools (a dam pipe wrench) for the job and you begin to force parts to come a part with two people and possibly enough torque to bend a receiver.
2. You're so clueless you don't know if the nut you're trying to remove is/isn't permanently attached by Sig yet you couldn't just let it wait until Monday when you can call Sig and get guidance from them rather than dick up a gun you just SBR'd like an idiot.
3. You're too foolish to figure out that if you just use a punch all you need is a few very lite taps to pop the pin out and the entire butt plate will come off.
4. You should have called Sig ahead of time while you where waiting on your stamp to find out if the pistol tube was permanently attached. That way if it was you could secure parts ASA F'ing P for a now discontinued rifle that you've SBR'd which you are now trying your best to jack up.
5. You're now blaming Sig for your errors. I had no issues changing my stock out, it takes about 3 minutes and doesn't require a pipe wrench.
