Stuck bb nut

[fusionstar]

So I want to get rid of the bb on my lower for a 22 build but that nut somehow got screwed so deep, my red bb tool cant reach It to loosen it before it threads in.. I would just make a tool but cannot get one with proper wall thickness or diameter. I would drill out the threads on the red bb tool/button so it can go deeper but I need it for my other rifles when I drive cross state lines. Any suggestions?

I installed a raddlock, replacing my standard bb. In doing so, I found out just why you don't use Loctite on the bb. I ended up pushing the bb assembly far out of the other side of my rifle, exposing then cutting the shaft with my dremel tool. Kind of a nasty last resort, but it worked well. Good luck!

Its actually not lock tighted in, just tension from the spring. The nut is actually so deep, I cant push the mag release really far. Certainly not enough room for my sausage fingers to cut anything without ruining the lower. Thanks though

Buy a new mag catch, push on your BB until the catch pops out enough to clear the receiver then cut that puppy off and replace with the new one. Was that a run on sentence?

if you have a very small flat blade screwdriver, the kind used for glasses, sometimes you can get that in between the mag release threaded rod and the BB and unscrew it.

Thanks skser, I dont have a smallsmall screwdriver but I loosened it with a dentle pick I flatened and ground down, nearly stabed my forearm in the proccess but its out now with no cutting, thanks.

22 mag shell casing + dremel

you could use that also, just use a dremel to cut out tabs, they work perfect, How do I know?, that is my bullet button tool ;-)
