I allows me to start the pins without hammering on them at all. The only ones I've never been able to break loose were CMT/Stag pins which are really in there and in backwards (they remove from the left side).

    The tools works great on everything else (which includes Colt, Bushmaster, CMMG etc) for companies that use the non tapered pins (LMT, RRA, Armalite ect), I just soak a little in Kroil for 10-15min and use the FSB block from Brownells and a small combo Brownells plastic/brass hammer. These pins can push out/in from either side.

    To save your FSB, you should drill the pin a little (use a drill press if possible) from the left side and then remove knock it out with a punch then replace it with a new taper pin (might as well do both, their pretty inexpensive).
    I must remove hundreds of FSB's over a year. I have never seen one like the pic above. Three strikes and the pin was flat like a pancake. All I can figure out was that they must have gotten a bad batch of steel when they made the pins (as they shouldn't be this soft).

    In searching through the forum for references to my name I found this thread.

    This should be a picture of the "pin popper" I gave to GotM4.
    In fact, it's probably THE exact one as I only ever made 2 or 3 of these...

    Yeah, I'd be in line for one of those. As it is I'm considering fabbing something similar up myself, but I'm sure I'd just bugger it up.

    The point is you let it get out of your shop like that.

    Actually, no I didn't. The customer sent me THEIR weapon and they were informed as soon as the issue was identified. This problem was not on our end, but the manufacturer.
