Venomous 1 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I am bringing the lower receiver to a local gunsmith to have the stock cut down and milled. I have completely stripped the lower except for the Bolt Hold Open Assembly. It looks like it should just slide up and out. Am I wrong? What is the best way to remove it without causing any damage? It seems to be in there tighter than hell. Thanks for any help, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajk 8 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 The actual Bho lever can be removed by lightly tapping out the very fine roll pin from left to right.Might be able to see it in this pic?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Venomous 1 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks for the response. Removing the BHO Lever would be enough. That is one tiny roll pin. Is there a certain size punch or tool you used to get it out? I am sure I have something. I will have to get looking in the morning. Thanks again.

FoxHound 3 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I didnt need to remove it in order to cut the lower receiver to add a stock adapter It balances fine even with the BHO on Then again, the cut on my receiver wasnt exactly precise and clean lol Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnboatcat 24 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I didn't remove mine and had no problem with a clean cut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Venomous 1 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Once I removed the roll pin and lever, I took a small piece of soft wood and barely tapped the supports the roll pin was in. The whole assembly ended up coming out easily after a few little taps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had gotten the pin out using a punch I had that seemed to work. What is the correct roll pin punch tool size that should be used for this pin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
