[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1605344, member: 6146"] There's a pic that occasionally comes up on the FAL Files of a guy with a perfect spring mark in black grease on his face from yanking that FAL buttstock off and not being ready for it. I'd heard about it, so I was careful - and still about ate it. I don't have the tool, but I did get it back together by running a coat hanger through it and the nut, and slowly compressing the spring and bending the coat hanger behind it as I went, to contain everything. Worked like a champ, but I'd recommend the tool. [/QUOTE]
