So i got my 858 finally.

Disassembly and reassembly has gone perfectly fine, except none of the videos, or FAQS, actually tell u how to remove the lower handguard, HOW?

All the videos stop right after they pull out the gas piston, then they re-assemble, so because of this i feel like it must be something simple... but i cant find it!

Another question i have, is how to remove the folder stock it comes with, the info on the FAQs is all about the wooden full version, and i dont see an easily accessible place that could be screwed out.

I thought i was going to be able to do it all myself, but i find myself asking the pros. So could you tell me how the hell to get the lower HG off, and where the screw is for the folding stock?
 
found it. oh and just fold the stock and take the screw out of the back of the receiver.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. Sorry if it's common knowledge, the FAQ just said the pin behind the handguard, and i couldn't find it.

Thanks again ToddL.
 
On a side note.
If your lower handguard ever get's wobbley. I would replace this pin or if you are in a pinch just grab a nail and expand the center whole out so you now will need to hammer and punch it into place.
 
I've been thinking of a way to modify a linch pin or something to replace that roll pin. Something quick to pull and replace. If I ever figure it out I'll post it, Cause the roll pins are a pain.

Click to expand...
The screw holding the folding stock is visible from the rear when the stock is folded and be sure to use the proper size of screwdriver.
