Baynewrady Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Does anyone know what all is involved in replacing the link on a bolt carrier for an M2? Link to part for reference: https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/60685 Couldn't find anything through google. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 A hammer, a punch, and a solid surface to work on. Make sure you have the holes pretty well lined up when reinstalling so you don't crack the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeze, I thought it was more complicated. Thank you for responding and the tip for when I install the new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 They can be tighter than panty hose so I recommend a starter punch so you don't bend you longer punch untill you get it drifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy hell you weren't kidding. I whacked on it for a good minute with a steel punch and mallet, barely budged it. It looks like it's staked in?
