fast forward to 2:49 in this spiffy video from Arfcom's own, DVDTracker

Instead of a soft piece of wood, I use a dense foam mouse-pad (neoprene?) and it seemed to do a good enough job of supporting the ears. (Didn't break 'em  ) Just took a little bit of extra time and a larger number of softer taps to carefully get the roll pin in. I was also replacing the grip at the time anyway, and it's just one screw to remove, and it did seem to help make things easier (more space to work with) to have the grip removed. YMMV.

Quoted:
Think I could get by using a sandbag? I'm only comfortable using a hard block, like a block of wood or my plastic bench block. Of course, it needs to have a hole in it for the pin to pass through. In my opinion, a sandbag or the like wouldn't provide much support –– why risk it? Here's a trick I use: I drive the roll pin out of the original trigger guard, but no further. It remains in the lower tang of the receiver. Then I drive it back in thru the Magpul guard from the other side. It's a small thing, but it skips the need of having to insert the roll pin into the receiver hole. Of course, Robb knows his stuff too. Having him do it wouldn't ba a bad choice either. |
