| I'm building a dedicated 22LR upper and have installed the ejection port gas deflector. Now the upper will not fit in my receiver blocks for the barrel install. Do I have to chop up and modify the blocks or just remove the deflector and reinstall after I install the barrel? It looks like installing the gas deflector/dust cover after the barrel is in place would be a PITA. |

Thanks. I was afraid that was the answer. That is one itty bitty c-clip Thread a smaller piece of wire through the clip and wind the wire tightly on to it. The wire will help you pull the clip off and also hang onto it so it does not go sailing across the room. (You might have to start the clip off in order to get the wire underneath it) |
