I'm planning to put the USGI furniture back on my M1 Garand. One tool I really wish I had is a rear handguard plier. But I don't want to spend $25 on a tool that I'd only ever use once or twice.
While researching alternatives, I ran across this reference on another site:
"Those (pliers) are neat. I still use the rope trick (piece of steel cable and a good pair of pliers). But I don't have to lift a handguard as often as you."
So what exactly is this "rope trick"?
