Frequently Asked Questions

What are the first steps in disassembling an AR-10 lower receiver?

The disassembly begins with removing the buffer and spring from the buffer tube, followed by sliding off the adjustable stock. Then, use an armorer's wrench to loosen the castle nut and remove the buffer tube, end plate, and detent spring.

How do you remove the trigger group from an AR-10 lower receiver?

To remove the trigger group, push out the trigger and hammer pins. This allows you to extract the hammer, trigger, and their associated springs from the fire control pocket of the lower receiver.

What tools are needed for AR-10 lower receiver disassembly?

Essential tools include an armorer's wrench for the castle nut, a punch set for pins (like trigger, hammer, and bolt catch roll pin), and potentially a small tool for manipulating detents. A Benchmade knife was shown assisting with detents.

How is the bolt catch removed during AR-10 disassembly?

After removing the magazine release components, the bolt catch roll pin is driven out using a punch. This action releases the bolt catch from the lower receiver.
