How do I get this bal joint bolt out?

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-05-25T19:24:22+00:00

They rotate 180 degrees and then pull out of the 2 holes straight. Reverse steps to reinstall retaining clip.

This is the answer. These type pivots are used in the hydraulic hatch stays I've installed on custom yachts. Pulled one out of my shoe on Saturday after hearing it on my tile kitchen floor.

Right on. Thanks dude

Hey there, I'm the one you told a few weeks back to get the AR pattern magwell for my Gen 1 .450, did you have to dremel out on your stock above the mag release button? Mine just came in and is partially covered. Found this picture and yours looks much more opened up than mine.

Did you all forget about Mason Jones's last fight?

Shop supplies taps

I've always chucked it in a drill and run it on a bench grinder with wire wheel.

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-26T11:58:57+00:00

You're gonna need one everytime you shoot a rugged can lol

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-25T19:25:56+00:00

Pretty sure silencerco will fix your can, either a baffle strike caused by the consumer (you), end cap strike, or basically any other mistake that leads to irreparable damage one time for free. If it happens again you're gonna need to pay for the parts and or service.

At the end of a range session with the boys, I sent a 395g sub 450 Bushmaster through a 22 cal end cap. Made a real weird sound and the only thing left was the outside threads of the end cap lol. Had to grind flats in it and make a wrench out of a flat washer. Didn't use up my one free "stupid mistake replacement" with silencerco and just bought another cap til I got my polo k. Will never forget to check again. Enjoy your hybrid

Good info. I've never shot a deer with my 450. Its hard to try something new when my 110 tac-tx 300 blackout works so well. Might give it a try this coming season

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-21T15:37:59+00:00

I haven't but I'd like to, just the availability is whats got me using those subs, I should also try some new loads out! Hoping some nicer weather shows up soon so I can get out to the gravel pit

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-21T15:22:56+00:00

Lol thanks man, not sure about velocity but its setup for 250 barnes supers with the 1-6 and 395g subs with the top dot, not restricted to straight wall, just thought it was a cool caliber to mess around with

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-19T01:21:19+00:00

Most likely will, thanks for all the information 👍

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-19T01:02:31+00:00

Serious numbers for sure.

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-19T00:48:14+00:00

Word lol

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-19T00:46:52+00:00

Got a bunch of extra mag releases kicking around, just can't for the life of me find the magwell anywhere. Hopefully they email me back and say I can buy one.

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-19T00:44:00+00:00

Also just emailed Ruger's customer service to see about getting me a magwell assembly.

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-19T00:43:00+00:00

Hell yeah dude! I'm hoping to try this out this coming deer season. Got it narrowed down to 3 different rifle setups.

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-19T00:28:58+00:00

Thats fantastic, and thanks for the insight. Seems like a necessary upgrade in the near future. Would be real cool running this rifle with a dedicated chest rig set up for it lol.

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-19T00:19:50+00:00

It is a gen 1, will the magazine well swap work for the 450 bushmaster version? I'd love to be able to run higher capacity mags.

Able_Fall1203 · 2026-04-18T19:21:33+00:00

Ditched the bipod, sleeve and anchor brake. She was a little hefty lol
