DISCLAIMER: I am in no way encouraging or advising anyone viewing this video to attempt to modify their firearms. I am NOT a professional gunsmith! If you are not 100% confident in your ability to modify firearm components AND well experienced, DO NOT even attempt it! Always seek a professional gunsmith if there is any doubt!
