    Maybe I'm an idiot because everyone says this is easy but how the hell do you remove pins from an AEG

    make sure nothing is pressing them into the frame, ie remove all other screws then just push them out.

    On an m4 you have to remove all other fixings before pushing out the receiver pin as I find it is too tight otherwise.

    I use a small allen key personally, but anything would do.

    Just push it out basically,
    what aeg is it?

    I use an allen key along with a multi tool pliers. Put the allen key against the pin and give it a good tap, repeat till it comes out. Watch out though, there may be fake pins! You wont get them out, just punch crack in the plastic.

    yea, they can be tight. I've used a screw driver and something to tap them out with success.

    I found that the pin at the back of the receiver is easy enough to move but the front once can be very tight.

    Easy does it!!

    I needed a hammer and a pin to get them out, needed a fair banging before they would come out.
