I started putting blue Loctite on the push pins so they wouldn't move so easily (you'd have to tap them out). Other guys cut skateboard friction tape and wrapped the pins (mine were still a little too tight for that). I also had my sight adjustments for all three barrels printed on a tag taped (with clear packing tape) onto my feed tray cover so I didn't have to remember each barrel's zero. I painted dots on my front sights with green luminous sight paint too. We even taped green "flame-retardant cloth" (like what welders wear) around the receiver end of our barrels to help with swaps when we were in the field. Melted duct tape is a bitch to get off a parkerized finish. The armorer HATED all us GPMG guys because we made so many mods to our guns. They simply weren't "inspection pretty" anymore after we got done with them.
