   Side note, to change spring out, if you take a tooth pick and spin it in and pull it will latch on and you can pull the spring out.

   Why not start from the beginning? I can’t pull out the pin for starts!

    Mind Blown!!!! I should’ve just watched this video 1st instead of trying for the past 10 mins. Sadly it’s going to take me another 10 mins to find a small ziptie. Now if you only had a video showing me how to easily locate a buffer tube detent that went flying, I’d be set.

    I’m sure this is awesome….. but huh??? I just take it out. What am I missing here? My buddy installed his pivot pin and it’s stuck – totally stuck. So moving it 1 millimeter is out of the question. We can’t ziptie something we can’t move
