[ARCHIVED THREAD] - sling point removal

Posted: 8/4/2005 1:27:56 AM EDT

What's the best way to take out the horizontal sling point under the FSB? I want to put one a side-sling point on and don't really have a use for it, not to mention it possibly getting in the way.

Leave it on. Wrap an O-ring around the base of the sling point and fold it out of the way.

the front sling swivel? is it riveted on or held with a roll pin?

either way, you can usually drive out the pin with a smaller than normal sized pin punch. I usually use a 1/16" starter punch since they're stronger.

I've dremeled the end off the pin and just pushed it out.

Me too, just knock it out with a small punch. The rivet will crack with a a little tap or two.
