E-Mag ground lug

[OneSelfLost]

Quick question - are these things pressed in or punched in? I need to install one and looking for some pointers.

Also - trigger pin - go in on driver side or passenger side?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

lug is pressed in.
when you strip and reano emag frames 2-3 times, people have tapped and threaded that hole and used a stainless 6-32 button head, screw.

hope that helps.

IIRC , its a spirial fluted pin , spirial fluted pins go in better with a hammer and brass drift , straight fluted with a press or a hammer
IIRC , all AGD trigger pins go in left to right

If you inspect the trigger pin hole(s) with a magnifying glass you'll see slight "mushrooming" around the hole on the side that has the flared end on the trigger pin.

Thanks for the help everyone. Yes, it's a spiral fluted pin.

I ended up using a drift/punch and it went right on in with a couple good taps, same deal with the trigger pin.

Now.. those safety springs and ball bearings.. I got them in but holy crap those are fiddly little buggers!
