Getting to the gearbox.
« on: December 07, 2006, 10:29:53 PM »
I am puting in a 120 spring in my ca m15a4, well not quite.  I have it almost to the gearbox but can not seem to remove the lower half.  I dont know how to remove the selector switch, if that is the last thing to remove.  ANY HELP PLEASE......

You don't need to take the switch off, did you pound the pin out and remove the mag release?

yes. It seems to want to come out but catches on the rear and on the trigger even if I hold the trigger down

So, you have the lower gearbox isolated with the lower receiver on it still, the gearbox alignment pin is out, the mag catch release is out and it still won't come out?

Pull harder?

The grip is off, I'm guessing.
