    removing bullet button on lower

    Anyone know how to remove a bullet button? I'm trying to install a radlock on my lower and do not have the wrench to remove the castle nut. If anyone has that wrench in the area and would let me borrow it for a sec I would appreciate it as well.

    heh.

    I've got the wrench, and still can't get mine off. It got spun just a hair too far somehow, and it's either too far down for the wrench to reach or it's out of sync and the wrench can't hit it.

    I'd let you try my wrench, but I'm near Fresno.

      Get a small screwdriver and file it down. A little work, but it is much better than that tool that comes with the bullet buttons.

          You can try depressing the bullet button as far inward as possible, then grab the mag release arm and turn it counter clockwise off the button.

            yep.. exactly what I would suggest. Twist the release off from the other side.

                Try a thinner object to depress the BB. When fully depressed the mag cath should stick out far enough from the receiver to rotate it a full 360 degrees.

                  How about a picture? Do you know the brand of bullet button you are trying to remove?

                  Why do you need to remove your castle nut to install the bullet button? HUH??

                  That will help with trying to help ya..

                      if you can not get the little special nut to turn buy building a special tool (killing a blade screwdriver) by making it look like a two prong fork.

                      the take your grinder tool and grind off the "weld" tab on the opposite (left side) side were it looks like a weld holds the threaded shaft to the mag holding plate.
                      this will destroy the part (can rebuild it by re-welding it).



                      in photo #1 it is the right angle part.
                      in photo # 2 see the "dot" in the part this is were you grind off the metal.
                      in photo #6 again another shot showing the part.
                      in photo #8 showing the part again.

                      when about done grinding it off be aware there is spring tension on it, not much but enough to cause a part to go flying.

                      these photos only show a stock mag part system not a ca legal bb.
