A 7/32" drill in the BB hole works well and takes only a few minutes. Take it slow and keep it straight - I've done it several times.May God bless America, and may America bless God!

When I converted to featureless I had to break the mag catch with a vice grips. The BB tool and screw driver with heat didn't work for me. I wasted so much time trying but the vice grips just snapped it off in mere seconds and I had an extra mag catch to use as replacement:

Tried replacing my BB tonight with the new kind of BB. What I thought would be a 15-20min job for 2 AR's turned into almost 2 hours trying to figure out how to remove that stupid screw. I don't have a heat gun, blow torch or any tool with high heat. I tried blow drying, lighting it up with my lighter, using whatever tools... and even boiled one of my lowers. Yes I boiled it. Didn't want to drill it as I have no spare mag catch. Failed at everything I tried and I'm frustrated. I'm gonna go to Harbor Freight tomorrow and pick up one of those tools suggested by Sky.Hawk (thank you sir).Comment

I'm too cheap to buy a tool. Took two nails and crossed them inside the BB hole gripped with pliers at the intersection and turned it loose in 3 minutes. 2 minutes was searching for the nailsComment

use a soldering iron in the hole"It is currently CA legal to modify a double-action revolver into a single-action revolver and modify a single-action revolver into a double-action revolver.

The BB assemblies on all my ARs melted internally by rapid fire cook offs and corn dog rallies while using dang French steel 5.56 ammo.
Guess I'll have to repair them with "whatever legacy parts I have floating around" all the way pappy sho'd me back in 79.Comment

Push it from the BB side with something like a pen and grab a hold of it with the vice grips and it snapped with little to no effort. If you are worried about scratching the lower you can tape it with some electrical tape. Honestly by pushing from the BB side it gave me space to not even touch the lower.Comment
