Special Tools needed

[fitz19d]

Real quick question and answer session. I've got a lower I picked up with the dual sling attachment ring between the stock and the frame/lower. Was real happy about that till I found it blocks the slidefire stock I'm trying to put on it.

Is there any common tools or I need an AR tool to loosen the round bit that appears to hold the back toghether. On this one it's all smooth but for one small dot opening. My lwrc on other hand has multiple small rectangle holes/cuts around it. (If I tried adding it to the LWRC.)

Also do I need to keep something in that like spacer slot? My LWRC has a slender plate in the same place that has no function other than to sit there it appears.

Hoping I can avoid a gunsmith trip. But if so need to figure sooner than later so I can get it done before a hoped shooting trip this week.

I believe you are talking about the buffer plate w/ dual QD. Replace it w/ a stock buffer plate! You can loosen the castle nut w/ a tap or better, buy your own AR tool.

And the ring w/ the 'dot thingy' is the castle nut...

Sorry if I am off.. It was rather confusing to understand your post at first.

With all the available variations of that "dual sling attachment ring", some pics would be really useful, but frankly - MB888 pretty much explained it...

He got it covered. Didn't want to call it castle nut to only find out that's something else. Was a quick post from alternative means because I was also in the middle of reformatting and/or being a zombie @ 2am.

Was the dual sling loop kind. Guess I need a spare normal plate unless I also swap out the one on LWRC. With my luck the LWRC will be loctited on or something so I have to blow torch it almost. Have that problem with the Troy BUIS I was going to take off and sell for a pretty penny and swap out for magpul ones for half the cost.

Was happy to recover my selector spring retaining pin or whatever, stays in the LWRC pretty tight so I didn't notice it fall out of the dpms. Took me a few minutes wondering why my selector would spin loosely and some compare/contrast to figure out what was missing.

Well I was lied to and told there was no more Kilo slots left.

I recognize that lower you are asking about. You will not need anything but a DPMS multi-tool to remove the castle nut. If you would like I could meet you somewhere and swap out the Ambi-sling attachment for you with regular buffer plate, I have the correct tool. It will take 5 minutes. I will even trade you a "castle looking" castle nut for the single hole one on the lower, if that one is bothering you, they work the same way they just look different.

So very true on this forum and especially another forum that is not to be spoken [LOL]

I think I have it taken care of, thought the castle nut tools were the overpriced $90 ones. Can get em online cheap. For now I think I'll before work go to Rocky Mountain when I run some other errands, see if I can borrow theirs real quick or what they want. Failing that pick one up at Jensens when I grab a UBR stock (In all my part swapping forgot I sold my original VLTOR). Won't be the last time I need one probably so not a bad idea to have and that way I dont have to try and find time with my bizzare schedule that fits others. Thanks for the offer, and if things go awry maybe I'll hit you up after all.

Wished that sling mount fit with the slidefire. One thing I hate about that stock is no sling mounts so figured it would be perfect. I still may see if it's possible to just drill out room on the stock for one side's sling point.
