This will require an armorer’s wrench, here’s the one I use, sold for $18 at Primary Arms:

  1. The cheap Amazon armors wrenches sucks ass man! Just bent mine trying to take my fx9 brace off. Used a punch to hit the notch and it came off. Glad they didn't stake it. Anyways good video just dunno about the grip dude. Lol

  2. This was an awesome video. I put my AR together a couple years ago, but needed a refresher on how to replace the endplate. You got straight to the point, and were still able to properly convey all the info needed.

  3. Not sure why but when I replaced the factory mil spec receiver plate and installed a new one for a single point sling mount I started to have problems racking charging handle while function checking the rifle. I did everything properly and in order but the bolt would move back ever so slightly before hitting something preventing me from racking the rifle. I assumed it was maybe the re-installation of the buffer retaining pin hitting the back of the bolt but when I switched back to the original end plate I had no problems what so ever. Can someone help me with what this may have been? Still running the factory plate and I’d just like to be able to use my sling and rifle.

  4. My spring once is out it doesn’t go in for some reason,is that normal? I even order a mew one and it stick out too much,I end up cutting it

  5. This video was extremely helpful to me in answering my questions in regards to changing out my end plate.
    I appreciate the detail in explaining each step and the things to watch out for in doing so. Springs etc. I have my qd endplate ordered and will be doing the job soon. Thank you!

  6. Awesome video, I just built my first AR. After messing around with the buffer tube the spring shot out to the moon. I ordered a replacement kit with a few springs and detents just in case.

  7. I put one of your grips on my minimalist AR's with a skeleton stock and it works well. Do you know of any stocks with an adjustable cheek weld that necks down enough to allow getting your hand between it and your stock? I'd like to try putting your grip on my SPR but it won't work with my Magpul PRS G3.
