Really?
Hmm I have mine apart now and so happen to have a second body to play with. Will give it a try.
I presume you could just cut a hole in the top as well and slip it through a hole?
The trigger/selector will come out without splitting. you need to remove the small plate on the top front of the trigger. Pop it out than the assembly pops out
But thank you for the tip. I'll give it a trip.
