I am currently building a Polish underfold and I sheared my lower hangaurd retainer in half, (bottom handgaurd retainer), so here is the question:

1-where can I get a NEW retainer.

2- What is the trick to getting the front sight block pins and the gas port block pins out (can they be re-used?)

This is my 4th build, and have never had this happen so far. I have a few tools, jigs and a press at my disposal, just need to know if I am going to JACK this up some more if I attempt to press the FSB and the GPB pins out.

Thanks, Gary.

i removed them on a romy kit without much of a problem,  i think i punched all of them towards ejection side. just get the barrel supported well near the pins your working on, i used a vice w/barrel blocks. also start them with a stubby punch the correct dia.  or you'll probally bend your punch like me
