| Just wanted to drop in and say thanks to fro1911nut for directing me here. This is absolutely the best place I have found to get info for building my first AR. |
claw hammer? I thought it was a 4 pound sledge that was your friend ? Knocks the trigger guard pins in with ease. |
It's a reference to a somewhat famous pic of Mark using a claw hammer to beat open an AR. ![]() Oh, and welcome SLOW. |
Well, if he goes to the very top thread and clicks on the EE link, he might find a nice Eagle Arms lower with either an Armalite A2 or an ArmaLite A4 upper. |

Howdy! Come out and play sometime. Regarding the claw hammer, I've used that thing to beat open at least two ARs. The last time it got used on an AR was last April in a training class following a KB thanks to some "quality" ammo. Blew up the rifle and we had to beat the bolt carrier back. First time was on KBlagg's AR first day at the range. Had a primer pop on some Q3131A (IIRC) and get stuck in the cam pin recess of the bolt carrier. Freak jam. But even after beating on the rifle there wasn't even a scratch. Got to use the hammer this Sunday to install a TacSol Pac-Lite. Not a scratch. It does look scary though. ![]() Mark |
