Fsb removal

Ok, I'd like to think I have an intermediate skill set and ability to work on ar's (again I'd like to think [ROFL3]). I'm having a damn time removing an fsb off an old Bushy. I've hit it with bouts of penetrating oil (and numerous other fluids) and the rubber mallet more than I can emotionally and physically express. I'd love just to take the Dremel to it, install a low pro block, but I can't (not my rifle). Any tricks any of you guys can give me on how to break this pain in the rear free?. I have all three pins off...can't get the gas tube free though

Chill then hit the FSB with some heat?

Rubber mallet? I would use a block of wood and a BFH. YMMV as I'm no smith.

Hit it with your non marring purse?


May have been installed with rock set try a water soak

If it's really stubborn, the quickest way is to use a shop press. If you don't have a shop press or access to one, hitting the FSB with a torch to heat it up might help you break it free.

*Update*
After a few beers plus shots.....some heat plus 4lb sledge and a block of wood fucking thing broke free...finally

Um,
Just a thought, did you drive out the pins first ? [Tooth]

Heh, yeah, pretty sure that was done
