I dont know, but I have no idea why the pin wont come out, i’ve tried punching it out with a hammer and punch, unscrewing it and I cant get anything, just scratches on the gun. I punched out the rear pin easy as 1 2 3, but i cant find out how to get the front pin out. thanks mike, but my problem is that my font pin wont come out. ive seen videos online where the front pin isn’t supposed to come out and the upper comes off but staying intact to the lower with a hinge in the front.

After removing the front pin, the upper receiver off will slide off the front of the gearbox and lower receiver. Removing the rear pin is only necessary to remove the gearbox from the lower receiver. Good Luck Taylor,

I've been trying to take my upper receiver off my lower but cant. I can remove the rear receiver pin bit the front one wont come out (came to the point where I cracked the body). I also tried unscrewing the front receiver pin and it wouldn't budge. The front looks like a hinge so I tried getting the gun to open like that, but no dice. I tried pulling back the charging handle while doing this and still nothing has happened. Please i really need someones help. Hey I have the G&P m16vn which, receiver wise is the same gun.

And I think I see the " fence ". I also realized that we had one E-1 and one E-2. So my first E-Mail to you would seem a little off. Hell, after all, I'm into my 70's. Let me plead CRS, OK? One of the photographs of a returning 5-American recon showed a slightly off-the-wall mix of weaponry. This will just go to prove how unconventional we really were. Three Americans were carrying standard full-length M16s. One American named McCoy had an early CAR with the 10 inch barrel and the ear-splitting short muzzle flash arrestor. But the kicker was SGT Schimke and his .45 ACP Thompson. From what I've heard, the Team Sergeant, Pete Morakon didn't really think that was a very good idea. But there it was.

Information on the XM177 use and history is relatively lacking on the internet. It appears that the G&P XM177-E1 G&P currently produces also includes the forward assist (with teardrop shaped plunger) but no shell deflector. It also appears that they now have the 'fence' around the mag release and ejection port. Finding a perfect replica of the weapon you carried looks like it may be impossible without swapping a few of the gun's external parts. Nonetheless, I and my co-editor Brandon really appreciate your comments! Best Regards MikeG Archie,
