bladewurk Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 How hard is it to disassemble my M2 to drill and tap the stock button to install this? I lost my manual.. Should I just trade for an adhesive mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I left mine in the gun. I do have a few more tools around than the average guy though. I cut a block of wood to fit perfectly onto the reciever to support the back of the button, and taped (blue painters masking tape) the entire reciever to protect it while working with it. I then drilled the proper sized hole with my drill press and tapped it. Make sure to thouroghly blow away any chips/shavings and otherwise clean it realy well before puting it back together.

CraigS. Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 After removing the trigger group assembly just punch out the roll pin in the receiver that the carrier release pivots on and be careful not to lose the spring. The hard part will be clamping it and locating the center of the pin to drill and tap the screw hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUBL Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Something to note....drill from the back side. The factory button is crimped onto the stamped steel, and you want to be centered on that crimp. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMC Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Drive the pin out from the top down, its easier to tap it back in from the bottom. Don't drive it all the way out, it will be easier to reinstall the carrier relase if you drive the pin out just far enough for the carrier release to be removed.
