hey guys i did a big booboo, and i installed my trigger guard backwards, meaning i used roll pin on the front hole of my lower and now i brought a stark grip with the attached trigger guard and need to remove the roll pin. the problem is i have is the front hole doesnt have an exit hole to push the roll pin out, BACKWARDS! i tried wd 40 and needle nose pliers to pull it out, no luck! i know i cant be the only one who has done this?

If you still have my # give me a call. It ain't easy but can be done.

Small sheet metal screw and plyers? And get something hard and non-marring to use for leverage...maybe a plastic cutting board (to put under the plyers).

what about needle nose Vise grips ,,clamp them on horizontal then hit it with a plastic hammer while holding the handle of the pliers

Ted- we could make a living at this.... Tap inside of pin and jack out with a brass spacer nut and washer

I was going to suggest a tap or an easy out..once in, pry out with some vice grips. I suppose a metal screw might work too.

But then its a job not a hobby,, so its no fun

You're screwed. Time to buy a new lower.

well I boogered it, I tried doing the vise grip method it's what I had on hand, I end up crushing the little bit of head the roll pin had... I feel like just dremeling the old trigger guard out?

No easy out... It spreads the roll pin and makes it tighter in the hole

not so fast PK90 I got her out! whhheeeew! what I did was use a smaller drill bit to open the crushed roll pin, then I took a slightly bigger drill bit and let it get inside the roll pin and with a little wd40 the pin started to spin some, then I kind of angled the drill bit a little so it bit on the inside of the pin, and i pulled it out, thanks guys for the quick responses...

Glad you got it out
