[QUOTE="Ride Da Fire, post: 994084, member: 217"] I used to have a barrel that was blind pinned so well I couldn't find it. I ended up used to dremel and thin metal cutter blade to cut off the flash suppressor. I got the instruction from here [attach=full]72870[/attach] [attach=full]72871[/attach] [attach=full]72872[/attach] [attach=full]72873[/attach] [attach=full]72874[/attach] This is where the pins are, one at 6 o'clock and one at 12 o'clock I ground down far enough to find the pins but they wouldn't budge, so I took my dremal and used a cut off wheel to cut the comp in half. Make sure you do this right down the middle of the pin. Then using a cold chissel, I split the comp. When I did this, it loosened the pins up. I turned the pin by using the slot cut down the middle of the pin. Then I ground around the pin, using the cut off wheel until I had enough room to grab the pin with a needle nose pliar. After the pin is out, cut down the middle a bit more, to connect the hole to the rest of the cut. Then split the comp open using the chissel. The comp comes right off. And here is the barrel with a phantom mocked up It is VERY IMPORTANT to remember, that most of the Mini-Y's came on 14.5" barrels, and you MUST install a muzzle device that will get the barrel back to 16" or more (Phantom, Vortex) and that MUST be permanently installed, in a fashion acceptable and documented by the ATF. AS SOON AS YOU TAKE THE BRAKE OFF, your barrel will make your AR a SBR, which is illegal, unless you have registered it and payed the ATF stamps, etc. Do not assemble your barrel back on the rifle until you have installed the new device permanently, and dont wait a long time to get the new device installed..... or "plan to" "someday" get it mounted permanently. The reward does not match the risk. [/QUOTE]
