The delta ring can be a little stiff on a new AR so I use a large set of channel lock pliers with rubberized grips by putting one grip on each side of the delta ring and pushing the delta ring down while my wife removes and replaces the the handguards. My grip isn't what it used to be years ago pulling the handguards off a M-16.

That does work quite well. I can still get mine off by hand, but they can be finger bighters.

Yeah that's exactly it. Thanks.

Seems pretty simple but I wish the guy would have used some more light and kept his hands from blocking the view of what he was doing. Maybe that part is harder to do than say but more light is pretty easy. Still I got the idea and I appreciate the help.

From the days I discovered how convenient a $9.99 AR delta ring tool actually is.

For a private unlisted video, it somehow has 1,356 views. LOL. I made this back in 2012.

I think I have $10 burning a hole in my pocket. I tried pulling down the ring and I couldn't get it close to being far enough.

I gather that much like my SD9VE, the M&P Sport II will eat just about any ammo without issue? I would like to buy some Silver Bear .223 to try out in it but with shipping costs I would like to purchase a bulk buy. I've shot brass through it no issue, but would like to give steel a try. Thanks!

I don't know how much difference there is between Brown Bear and Silver Bear but I did find this at Ammoman:

.223 Remington Ammo - 500 Rounds of Brown Bear 55 Grain FMJ at AmmoMan.com

That's $132 for 500 rounds of Brown Bear and the price includes shipping. I've bought many cases of ammo from this guy but there are some who complain about him. I've never had any sort of problem personally. And his prices are hard to beat generally.

I've put 1000 rounds of Wolf WPA steel case ammo through my Sport, no issues at all. They feed and fire just fine. Apparently the bi-metal jacket bullets do wear the barrel marginally faster, but the cost of a new barrel is far outweighed by the savings in ammo price, so for plinking I think steel case ammo is just fine. I shoot Wolf Gold mostly now because I want the brass to reload or change into 300BLK, but that's the only reason I'm shooting that instead of steel case ammo, personally I think you're good to go.

Read this for everything you ever wanted to know about brass vs steel ammo: http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/brass-vs-steel-cased-ammo/

Edit: I should add one thing, some indoor ranges don't like bi-metal bullets because it doesn't pass the "not magnetic" test, mainly they don't like green tip (steel core) ammo but they lump bi-metal into the same bucket so some indoor ranges may not let you shoot it. Just something to be aware of before you invest if you shoot at an indoor range check they are ok with magnetic rounds.

I have the same magpul setup but I had to remove my front sling post when putting carbine length handguard on.

Where can I relocate to to to use a sling?
