What the hell size Allen or hex do I need to get the A-peg removed from my 5.56 predatAR?  None of mine will reach and I don't feel like hauling the gun into Lowe's to find the right size.  And why the f&ck not use a flat head for that!?!?!

The Allen screws are easier to assemble because the screw will stay on the end of the wrench for alignment.  The flathead screws take a bit of fiddling with. Makes a big difference over hundreds of rifles.

Yeah I guess I didn't think about that fact.  Just another tool to add to the collection I guess.

Unless LT specs out some different fasteners, a 1/4-28 allen head screw should be 3/16. Don't have any LT rifles so I may be talking out of my fouth point of contact.
