    All AR gas block pins are removed right to left.................


    Except S&W are left to right................................
    Ummm

    I think that's backwards

    For reference left to rt is bolt release to ejection port.

    In any case identify the small end and put that down on your block.

    While heat *could* help eventually, I'd tap the pins from both sides and see if there's any movement first, trying the left to right approach first, since it seems smith pins are driven right to left. I wouldn't get too excited with heat, just because I wouldn't want to get too much on there and risk damaging the barrel. The pins shouldn't be installed with any sort of bonding agent, but it possible there is some corrosion. Give it a shot of penetrating oil before you go with heat.

    I did the same swap you're doing now on an AR - I prefer a free floated rail vs the bulky plastic handguards.

    I want to changed the gas block because it currently has the two piece hand guards on it. Would like to add a rail were I can attach a front grip etc.
    I would recommend a drop in handguard of some type, quad rails are good if you want pic rails, and there are a few polymer keymod/mlok handguards.

    Messing with the operating system is a stop of last resort

    People take themselves too seriously.

    First, you should have learned before puberty you show a little ass and get butt hurt people are gonna needle you.

    Second its probably a good thing I delete way more content than I post.

    Finally I got promoted from crippled crotchety bastard to internet tough guy.

    Cool.

    Still stay away from my testicles.

    COngratulations on the promotion - does that mean your healing and not crippled, or does it mean that the powers of hatred and caffiene have overpowered the physical ailments to allow you to become internet tough guy?

    I didnt get the memo you basically vouched for him. Although he still would have got the what ya selling comments when he ran thru 25 posts from folks. That's just the way of the world round here

    ETA, we shall see if he sticks around. He should cause this place is great. Just tell him to quit announcing his blocked list. Lol
