How to Remove Plugs on Gen 2 M4


Futuredays17

Recommended Posts

I’m new to shotguns and the M4. I was attempting to field strip my new M4 and watched a few videos. 

I didn’t notice my model was different and has what I believe is called a “spring clip”? I bent it, but luckily it went back to the original shape when I Retightened the plug. 
 

So, since this clip is preventing me from accessing the plugs & pistons, how I do go about removing them? 
 

Thank you in advance! p8n7l9sk2f2c1.jpeg?app_web_view=ios

Can you take a few more photos or a video?  I am trying to see how the spring seats into the retainer on the tube.
Can you compress the spring with one hand and free the piston with another?  I assume that spring adds tension to the gen2 handguard?

Does the owner's manual say anything?
