Milspec 39 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 It's interesting how everyone is tapping out the gas plug pins. When I compressed the springs my pins just fell out. No tapping needed. Maybe I compressed the spring more or perhaps it was due to the lack of carbon build up? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StrangerDanger 429 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Probably depends on your tool the most. There isn't much room in there for error and misalignment is easy to happen. Since each pin is machined at each end to allow the pin to be captured under the spring tension. Like if you tried to drive the pin out without removing the spring tension, you'd probably damage the body of the ARGO plug. If you over compressed the post, the same would happen where the pin would be captive again just at the other side of the pin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benelliwerkes 29 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Modify your firearm in good faith. Screw the fine print on 922R as I have yet to see a real incident report of a common citizen being legally cited for an infraction of said regulation.....standing by to review of any legally prosecuted instant cases. IF however you live under a rock and are found to be in possession of cocaine in weight exceeding your shot shell magazine capacity and a firearm that has had its serial number defaced with a hard piece of crack, some zealous prosecutor will use said infraction to pursue such scumbags for a 3-strikes-and-they're-out case over the top and put them away. Just sayin'. Edited November 6, 2020 by benelliwerkes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doge 7 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Testing this out: Much more easy to service. 1.5mm (or 1/16") punch to remove the capture ring. Before you ask; I have already ran numbers on making an integrated stop inside the hole. Much more expensive to cut and inspect, so still sticking with the steel ring as per original.

StrangerDanger 429 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 That should work fine. When I modify existing extensions to remove that flexible ring, I notch the front of the tube rather than disturb the threads. FB9C2D9C-6A4D-4418-B8F1-FF57DBDDEEAE.webp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milspec 39 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Is there a reason to remove this ring besides refinishing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doge 7 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Nope. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StrangerDanger 429 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I don't even pull them when plating. They just plate right over them. The only reason I have had to remove them is when we used to get 3 position receiver extensions that didn't have any internal parts. So taking one out of the neutered model was difficult. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doge 7 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Huh, I was under the impression they removed the ring before plating. Today I learned... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
