Randy ! Removing the pin too?? video??? always awesome! maybe even teach us the trick how to drill n tap the pin capture behing the but stock ( Safety rentention spring thing? ? that all the "pros" talk about doing..? your videos rock!
I recently bought one of the Real Avid plastic pivot pin tools and it works great! I was using a utility knife blade for years and it works...but I admit to lunching a few pins and springs into orbit. The clevis pin trick actually looks like one of the best ideas. The tool was worth it!
That pivot pin tool is the shizzz nits!!!! But it’s not that easy you should really really really do a vid on exactly what’s going on I had to do a few lowers before I truly understood how it really worked!!! Spring in then it clips in the lower which side matters then the pin jams it in the whole rotate the tool up pull the pin then in with the take down pin the longer one it is tricky (Is So Simple it is actually tricky) but if you miss the detent goes about 10 yards. Extra spring extra detentes is a really good idea!!! But try to understand the best you can what is going on and don’t get in a hurry that’s when most things go wrong. Take your time and once you get though your 3 or 4 th one then it will make sense… one point tape the shit out of your lower that roll pin 📍 for the Bork catch using the mil speck kits you have to beat the fuck out of them. I use a C Clamp on pressing the second one in for the trigger gaurd. AND MAKE SURE you have the bolt catch in BEFoRE doing the bolt catch!!! It’s a Bitch beating that roll pin in angle is everything but it’s 2 times as hard beating it out because the bolt catch was not done first!!!
I see lots of videos like this stating how hard it is to install a pivot pin and espousing the need for specialty tools. I don't use anything except a thin, flat head bit and my hands. Takes me seconds to install. Although I've been called a ninja before, so that may be part of it!
