clamps are invaluable in disassembling
firearms. Compress the upper band spring
with the quick clamp. This leaves your hands
free to remove the upper band.
8)
Normally I would use a non marring tool to
tap the upper band forward but found you
need a very thin tool to past the clamp and
still achieve a good angle. I used a drift
and tapped very softly the rear of the
bayonet lug.
