Simple swap-over.
ETA: You may have to swap bolt carriers if your current one doesn't have the cuts for the FA to engage on.

OK... I find that funny.... Not much with firearm sites until we moved to MD, but I have been seen regularly on trad archery sites.... and been involved in innernet dust ups... this is a classic whine ass. Good to see there are people who do not follow his steps and even offer differing opinions... but he probably missed that.
ps I am too new with ARs to voice an opinion on FAs, got one without and several with... I aint no operator and do not pretend to be one.. I just like making them go bang, er ah pew pew...

Well, only a 2nd rate 'smith in a shitty little gun shop would have such a steady supply of work that they have to turn people away at times due to the backlog of customer guns waiting to be worked on.

Why should we Free BSD?
Soul Rebel has a case of butthurt, bigger than a super duper double dong. n00bs deserve a chance to defend themselves on MDS, not bitch about things they don't know about on AKFiles or ARFCOM. FFS...

I always wanted to be "tactically tactical tactician."
Hey, we're glad to have you on TTR too. Hopefully you're offending some libs in the Politics section.

Hell, that's why I wanted you to join us to begin with.
Even better, we don't moderate it. So if you can come with some foul language that clears the censor, it's GTG.
There's plenty of libtards and libertarians ripe for the offending.

Range toy? Ok, so the M-16 (without FA) was a range toy. There are other ways to get the bolt into battery e.g. pushing the scalloped portion of the bolt forward. The FA is there to gently assist getting the bolt into battery. Anything more is not what was intended. JMO for what it's worth.
