Do any of my brethren here have a shortcut / link to show how to "properly" disassemble an AR-15?
I want to fully strip the lower.
Thanks,
Dennis

Roger that WSM.
I went there after I posted.
I found one on assembling a lower.
I guess I can just play it backwards for the disassembly version

not sure what your into, but if you don't need to I'd leave the pen the holds the mag release alone. it can be a real pain in the ass

Re: AR-15 DISASSEMBLY?
If you have a collapsible buttstock. Be sure to back off the retaining nut and try and not turn the buffer tube. Its fairly easy to damage the rear takedown detent spring. Just back off nut and slide the plate back rotate the buffertube a little and pull out that spring on the back of the receiver. Also have the buffer and spring removed since the buffer retainer pin and spring will come flying out.
Unless you are trying to strip paint off a lower I would just clean one up by blasting it with gun scrubber or carb cleaner

Re: AR-15 DISASSEMBLY?
Van they're not supposed to be bent when you put them in.LOL Hell I got to where I just bend them and get it over with.
Vanns right tighten the ext tube nut on the carbine down to the last turn that you can still rotate the flange and then put the spring in. And I think Jeff might have been talking about the bolt hold open pin. I wrap electrical tape "One wrap only" around the jaws of a med to large pair of vice grips. It works great to press in the BHO pin and the forward assist retaining pin. You can go to Ar15.com look under the build it yourself threads like 1bolt says, they are very good tutorials .
