How do I remove my upper receiver? I bought a flat top one but I can not get my old one off. If anyone knows a link to a video or good step by step instructions that would be a big help for me.

Push out the takedown pins?

Are you trying to remove it from the barrel?

If so, what you need to do depends on what sort of gas block and handguards you have. Check the build-it-yourself forum for videos that show you how to install stuff - you can reverse the steps shown and get your upper off.

It's really not much harder than removing the the gas tube, removing the delta ring, and unscrewing a nut on a standard upper.

What do YOU consider to be the upper?  Describe all the parts you see.

+1 for just pushing out the takedown and pivot pins to get the upper off the lower.
