[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Installing retainer rings

Posted: 6/27/2013 6:59:44 PM EDT

I am working on my marlin 795 on removing the mag disconnect. In short, I lost one of these rings because I didnt use the right tool, or I did it wrong, or both. So that ring is gone, and I lost another in a failed attempt to remove a spring. They have a tendency to fly across the room.

Anyone have any idea how to install these little bastards?

Ahh, well thanks for the offer. I bought 50 more of them for 6 bucks, so I'll probably just try it with pliers, and if I lose some, it wont matter.
