Fixed Stock Removal?

danno1 · #1 11-25-2012, 11:03 AM

Getting a new stock (VLTOR) to insert over my mil-spec buffer tube.
Just wondering what is the best way of removing the pin out of the original fixed stock?

I see it only shows from one side.

Danno you may have to centerpunch the pin and then drill it out or drill into it and put an easy out in it. Thats the best advice I can come up with.
DCP he has a state compliant pinned stock that looks like a collapsible stock but really isnt.
I have never seen one but if you can only see the locking pin from one side then that is an option, also if you dont plan on using the stock again you may try drilling the plastic around the pin until you can get a grip on it.

Thanks. Actually today I did have to drill it out (the stock only). I tried pulling it out since it didn't go through to the other side. The pin was just about flush so it was also hard gripping with anything.
I ordered an adjustable mil-spec tube and mil-spec VLTOR stock VLTOR MIL-SPEC Imod standard black Model - AIB-MSB
so I'll deal with it once everything's together.
