[ATTACH=CONFIG]1629[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]1630[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]1631[/ATTACH] Nevermind.. I figured it out...........These are before pictures! I still have a 3 week wait before my CC Tube gets here.

OK... whats the deal with downloading photo's?? Is there instructions somewhere?

Thats one bad peice ! Mine will look like the soon!

Done deal, I went to Home Depot on lunch today and picked up a snap ring plier very simular to your pic, but mine is made by Channel Lock. Also picked up some Acetone and heat gun and balsa wood. Im ready !! Got another 3 week wait though.

Thats the same one that I ordered. Boy I cant wait to get it! You guys are killing me with your pictures ! Looks good !

Awesome... thanks, I havent tried removing my stock yet since I bought it. I guess I will try an remove it before my CC Tube gets here. I am going to purchase all of the necessary items to help with the install (heatgun, snap ring pliers, ect.). Im going to follow all of your instructions to a "T"! Thanks !

you guys removed your stock before heating??

About how long did it take before you started to see smoke??

Mine has some slight wear there. I've never noticed this before. Not like yours though. Man... that thing looks dirty !

Anticipation??? what gives??

It is the ARGO Caps that is what Im having a hard time removing. These just seemed to be torqued on extremely hard. I havent tried to remove them yet, I was looking for the correct size screwdriver to use, and will probably have to lock it into a vise somehow before reaming. I thought about using wd40 on them, letting them soak, before trying. I would wipe dry after removing. I havent tried this yet and I was waiting to see your replies before attempting this. Thanks for all of your response's

You say it's easy to install? I want this, but I dont know how to install one. Can you elaborate on this?

I love the M14/M1A, my gun collection isnt complete until I purchase one. The heck with all that Russian crap.

Yes.... lefty loosely. counterclockwise

Thanks.... I want to find a long screwdriver that is just the right diameter and then some how hold the barrel firmly while reaming on the cap. Im just afraid of damaging the cap. May try some wd40 and let set before I try.

Let me know how it goes, I too just order the CC tube along with the large knob. Cant wait to get them. I only ordered them 4 days ago, still have a long wait. But Im excited to see your pictures, so dont forget! Good luck with the install!!

they wont unscrew, they are extremely tight

I think that I would just touch it up with a black magic marker !

Alright, whats the trick of removing the pistons?? Youtube video suggests to use the charging handle (as a tool) to remove the piston shrouds. But I cant get mine to budge. I even tried a long screw driver but I am afraid of damaging them. Have any of you guys tried this? Its looks like it needs to be smacked with a hammer. Please help !!

Can I ask a dumb question here?? I guess Im a little ole school but... if you want it black why not just paint it black??

Cant wait to get my new extended tube and large knob ! Kips knob sure is a nation wide success ! [ : D

Boy.... You better be careful how you say that ! LOL

Cool... Im placing an order right now for the titanium extention tube and the muted knob !

I have a vertical grip on mine and I use the palm of my left hand to push resistance. This really helps as far as recoil is concerned. I also use the push pull technique when shooting a hand gun. Works awesome in helping me keep the gun still.

Carrier Comp shows a new color (black) but is still not available. Anyone know whats going on? Or when it will be available? I might just get the muted one if it's gona take forever.
