I am going to install some trigger guards on my Spikes lowers. Who makes the best block to install the trigger guards in the lowers so I cannot break off an ear?
Who sells these? Dane |

Quoted:
Brownells sells the bench block you asked about in your post. I love them as they are predrilled for easy pin removal. I'm pretty sure Brownell's DOES NOT make the bench block for the trigger guard roll pin removal because if they had one I would own it.I don't have one so I know they don't make one .They make one for the front sight base removal and gas tube removal but NO trigger guard roll pin removal. I have almost every tool there is to own for an AR15.Not many AR15 tools I can think of that I don't have. |
| ona side note: use good pins. dont uuse the crappy pins that are in DPMS kits. use the spiral type that are in teh RRA kits. they are MUCH easier to install. I boguth a bunch of them so that whenever I come across the other style i just throw them out and use teh good ones. |

The one i used the DPMS was tough and i will never use DPMS again. |

A 3/8" thick piece of wood or plastic works well. It fills the gap between the ears and the surface, while the receiver lays flat. Without a grip on the rifle, put it under the receiver like the first picture. There is a hole in the block directly under the roll pin for removal. (In the picture a clevis pin with a 1/8" shallow hole is being used as a roll pin holder.)
If you have a grip on the gun it prevents the block from going in the first position, so you can use the same size block positioned like in the second picture. Again there is a hole under the roll pin for removal.  
Here are some other commonly used ways to install trigger guards without a block.

Grasshopper, you have missed the forest whilst aiming for the trees.
The real question is "How can I make sure I don't put the roll pin in the wrong hole and end up with a screwed up lower". :) Here endeth the lesson. Go in peace. P.S. Use a piece of wood. No biggie. Just put it in the right hole! |
