Is there a trick to removing the roll joint? I’m taking one out of a “donor” and am getting hung up on the rear side lug. I was able to tap it most of the way out but can’t keep the rear lug lined up with the channel to get it completely out. For informational purposes, I bought the "El Cheapo" a few weeks ago explicitly for the oportunity to help with the work on it. Looks like a replacement joint roll will take care of the lack of tightness and some adjustment to the ejectors and this will be a great gun.

No real trick. You can search the forum and find a post about a tool that someone made out of a modified C-clamp.

Found it Brian. Thanks. Also noted that you have oversized replacements. If we need one I'll reach out.

I do not have many left, and I do not plan on having any more made. So I cannot say that I can help with that or not.
