  1. You are a life saver, In getting the hang of stripping it but I’ve always struggled with this and I’d try breaking out the tweezers. You literally just saved me about 20 minutes of frustration, thank you!

  2. Like 11jerans said 8 months ago. "Holy shit dude, you just saved me so much trouble"
    I wish I would have seen your video 2 days ago. I was one of those dumb-asses who didn't understand how things worked, so I pulled out my little hammer and tried to slightly pound the retaining pin back in place. Needless to say, I totally messed up the pin and am now waiting a week or so for a new pin.

  3. Wow…so simple…and I struggled getting my pin back in. Almost started to panic thinking I just F'd up my gun! I eventually did get it back in though I don't remember how. Now I know properly. Thank you.

  4. You, sir, are a lifesaver. My retaining pin is extremely picky on if it decides to cooperate or not. Found this video, and this simple trick, now it's never an issue. No more headaches and cursing!
