m4 sling mount

Sep 19, 2004 10:11am
Okay, I am switching the front sling mount on my m4 since I am lefty. I already broke the original trying to get it off. Now I have a new one but it came with the pins already inserted into the piece. How the hell do I get them out without doing damage. I have been trying with the punch things but it's still not budging and I am hesitant to hit it too hard.

find a screw like a machine screw, same diameter of the pins that hold it into place, use a rubber mallet or a hammer, just tap lightly till it budges

That's what I've been doing but on the first one the metal one the mount snapped before the pin budged. But I guess I'll just keep trying

I believe one side is tighter than the other. Make sure your not tryin to tap the whole pin through the tighter side.

Yeah I am going from the side that isn't spread out more. Like I said I am just kinda hesitant to go banging away at it again.
