I'm sorry if this is a tired issue, but we poor slobs in CA. need to go featureless or register our AR 15s as "assault weapons" by the end of next year, which carries lots of negatives.
I would like to remove the bullet button from my 2013 OR and 2015 Sport as a part of my featureless rebuild. Now I believe the removal of the bullet button from Smith ARs is not as easy as unscrewing the inside nut with a wrench since many have indicated it is loctited in. I've called the S&W tech line a number of times trying to get affirmation on this, but have been told many conflicting answers-not many gunsmiths or pros working in that dept.
So, I was directed to some S&W trained smiths in my area of So. Cal. who also had differing viewpoints on this issue.
Does anyone actually know for sure if the bullet buttons are glued in on the CA. versions in order to know how to attempt removal of them?
Thanks,
TB
