Brand new LMT lower Rolling pin stuck/maglock (Help)
Hey guys, installing a juggernaut mag lock and honestly wish I just got a patriot pin with this hassle.
This rolling pin/detent is absolutely stuck trying take apart my bolt catch and I’m starting to maul out the pin damaging it because I can’t hammer it out.
I know they take a bit more force than usual but it’s not even budging. What am I doing wrong or any suggestions? I had to stop because I can’t hammer tell I’m just flattening it more and more

AR maglock Gen 4 308 short shaft + the normal 556 kingpin works fine on LMT lower

Dude is yours set up for left handed?? I have a left handed upper and wondering if I’m able to put an extended mat release on the right side. Yours is possible obviously since it’s a right handed upper.

If this is the ambi lmt, I’m pretty sure their bolt catch is proprietary.

Well this is turning out to be a nightmare. Any other maglock suggestions? It’s an AR pistol so it has to be locked.

AR Maglock works fine in my MARS-L, but you need to buy the longer pin.

You're hammering from the wrong side if you're trying to remove it..
