| I read it here some time last week about making the handguard remover tools and there's was a link attached but I can not find it(I should have bookmarked it), did the searched but comes up with nothing. Can you help?. Thanks. |

This is the tool I use. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/mkoljone/handandpencil/hand.jpg Its silly to waste $25 on something to remove them. If you want to stop by, I will take them off for $25. |
And it has so many other uses! |

20 years ago, I had no problem just pushing the ring down with My hand far enough to do the job. A while back, I turned 50, & I had to break-down & buy a tool for the needed extra leverage. My question to You all: will My Delta ring spring just keep getting stronger with age?    The Ol' Crew Chief

I've never had any problem removing the guards on my Colt A2 with the delta ring. Now the older rifles with the flat slip ring is another story. I removed the handguards on my SP1 once in 1979. It took my two hands, a small screwdriver and one of mom's hands. She was a good sport. And since I've got two or three retro rifles I've purchased a ready made tool as mom is no longer around to lend a helping hand.

Thanks for the links but I already did that and that's not what I'm after, there was a link that one of the member here post about how to make one from stuff that you can get from home depot/lowe, in the provided link, there are pictures showing step by step of dimension and how to make one, ughhhhh can remember good lately, I hate my oldage. .

Haha, my first thought was "barrel nut or his nuts?" or maybe $25 for a handjob? thats one hell of a value!
