I find removing the tapper pins that hold on the triangle shaped front sight on the AR-15 rifle to be one of the toughest jobs out there. In this video I will demonstrate how you can do it with no specialized tools. However, the rest of the dis-assembly for putting on the new free float hand guards will require a couple of basic AR15 tools. I tried to make this video as basic as possible knowing that most AR variant carbine owners do not have all the cool armory tools that most guns smiths do. See part 2 for the actual install of the new free float hand guards for this dedicated 22LR upper.

  1. Lol your hammering pins on a flat table. You need a bench block with a hole for the pins to come out. Your not able to hammer the pins out because the other side of the pin is hitting the table. Lmao!

  2. Wow this was a very helpful and informative video. One question for you. Were do you normally purchase your aftermarket parts such as the gas block, free float tube, and quad rail? Is there a website with competitive pricing or do you go to a local gunshop?

  3. Maybe the trick is having a glass of wine before messing with those pins.

    I am now having a Bourbon and Coke before I go back to those F#@$#in pins and see if that does the trick…lol

    Great vid man, thanks for the info.

  4. Don't make fun of me,I'm 15,kinda new to the ar world.I'm building an ar from complete scratch I was wondering if I could reuse the a2 sight on a different build after I take it off this gun.i know they're like 30$ new but every penny helps.
