  • Removal of Stock Parts (Impingement System)
    Removal of Stock Parts (Impingement System): 1. Remove the upper receiver from the lower receiver. 2. Remove the bolt carrier and charging handle from the receiver. 3. Remove the bolt from the carrier. 4. Remove the gas rings from the bolt using a thin flat edge. Set the bolt and bolt carrier aside for later installation steps. 5. Remove the top and bottom handguards from the barrel by pulling back on the delta ring and pulling the handguards apart. If you don’t have standard handguards, remove any handguard(s) that might be on the rifle. 6. Use a 3/4” wrench to remove the flash suppresser or muzzle break along with the crush washer from the barrel. 7. Use a 1/8” hardened punch and a hammer to drive out the front sight pins that hold the sight assembly in place. Some rifles will have tapered pins. Check both sides of the pins to determine if one side is larger than the other and drive out from the side that is the smallest. Once both pins are removed, remove the sight assembly/gas block and gas tube from the barrel by slightly twisting the assembly from side to side as you pull it forward off the barrel. You can use a soft mallet (e.g. rubber, plastic, or brass) to tap the assembly off, if needed. 8. Remove the stock front handguard cap from the barrel Installation of Adams Arms Retrofit Piston System Components 1. Installation of Receiver Bushing: Install the flash suppressor onto the barrel by hand tightening it to protect the barrel threads during this step.

  • Handgun Action Wrench System
    HANDGUN ACTION WRENCH Changing barrels on handguns has become an accepted part of the custom SYSTEM pistolsmith’s job, as well as a fairly common occurrence in a “repair” gun shop. Without a proper action wrench, revolver frames can be sprung so badly out of shape that they are unusable. In addition, screwed-in barrels on auto pistols may be fitted tightly enough that it is a major job to remove them without damage to the receiver. These problems can be avoided by us- BINDER ing Brownells Handgun Action System or Handgun Wrench Heads on your Brownells Rifle Action Wrench System Handle. Action Wrench Heads for Smith & Wesson revolvers are made of alumi- RING num alloy and come complete with mounting/clamping bolts and washers.
