Has anyone remove the stripper clip guide on there norc? I was looking at shaving dead weight on my socom18 after the front sight the guide seems to be the next logical step as I got a casm gen 2 scope mount with a burris tac 30 1-4 on it.

So is it a big job?

You can find videos on YouTube that show you how to remove the stripper clip guide, its not a big job.
 
Took me all of 2 minutes, including getting the tools together and cleanup, lol. You're going to have to take the CASM mount off to do it, though. You need to drive the roll pin in the center of the stripper clip guide down into the receiver, then drift the guide out. I think I did mine from right to left (as if looking down the gun with the butt in your shoulder).
 
The big job is trying to locate that pin after you punch it through and it falls on the shop floor. Now ya gotta crawl around looking to recover and save that pin. Ha ha ha ha

Cheers, Barney.
 
Well I went to play with my gun and decided to remove it, the stripper clip guide and the front site. It's not big numbers but every once I can shave of the gun is good.

If you swap your gas lock for one off a regular rifle with a flash hider mounted sight you will shave a bit more weight off. You could trade with someone (hint hint :D ) as the gas lock sight option is desired by many.

That is true and a good idea! My only concern is my gas lock fits perfect. I am concern that switching may result in me needing to shim it.

Are my fear unfounded?

If the rest of your gas system is lined up and you don't want to mess with shimming you can sand the new gas lock until it tightens exactly where you want it to.

This is what I did. It works well. However, "in theory", sanding the gas lock will possibly "shrink" the inside volume of the gas cylinder. In reality, we're talking thousandths of an inch, which shouldn't add up to much, but COULD cause cycling issues. The better option is, instead of shimming, to peen the shoulder on the barrel where the gas cylinder rests, thus bringing enough material forward to ensure a tight fit at the gas lock.

Just my $0.03
