any body know the size of the roll pin on the front pin of the stock trigger guard on an LMT DEFENDER lower

ps the rear roll pin is an 1/8 and the front is smaller then 3/32

What the factory ones? Ones a pin you punch out, the other is spring loaded, you just depress it. The Magpul one is put in place on the muzzle side using an Allen key, its slowly screwed into the plastic about half way. You might want to use a tiny bit of blue locktight on the threads prior to installing. The rear pin is a roll pin type.

I think he's talking about the tiny pin that holds in the plunger.

ok theres a tiny roll pin on the front of the stock trigger guard that I think hold in a silver pin with access only from one side if that helps any? anyway I cant get the front pin out to change the trigger guard, all help is welcomed
thanks

Unless LMT decided to be "special" it should look something like this...

rear has a roll pin you gently tap out. Front one only needs to be pressed down with either a correct size punch or the tip of a bullet.

Oh and by the way, you spelled "soldier", "soilder" in your sigline...

3 32 Roll pin punch. Drift the ####er out far enough that it releases the guard. The other side has a plunger pin that only needs to be depressed.

Be gentle though, don't want to scare you but some dudes on ARFCOM broke the ears off from their lower. That pretty much makes your day suck.

This is what he's talking about. On the forward pin you can only access it from one side so how the hell to you get that pin out??? Im curious now...

EDIT: Oh is that the plunger pin you speak of, that only needs to be depressed???

Yes, look at the two pictures above. In your picture the mag well is on the left, in the two pictures where you see it, its on the right...

Before I figured out that you just had to depress the little button, I very carefully removed the tiny roll pin that retains the spring.

had to put it all together again and take it apart the right way just to make the point to myself
