[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Installing a gas block.

Posted: 12/16/2008 9:18:42 AM EDT

Walk me throught it fellas.

I need to remove the standard FSB and add a low pro gas block.

What size punch do I need to remove the FSB?

After I tap out the pins where do I go from there?

I'm relatively tool and project savy, can I do this without screwing anything up?

I believe one of the tacked threads in this section of the forum includes some directions for what you are trying to do:

Make sure you're doing it from the correct side.

That's the most important thing.

Driving tapered pins from the wrong side is a lesson in frustration.

It's pretty straightforward. Need a good straight edge to line up the gas block hole on the new one.
