The AR removal isn't horrible. You'll need a really long flat blade screwdriver to reach down and knock out the stanchions that hold the AR in place. That's the only tricky part.

When you butterfly the Stampede, the plunger tube is fully exposed. Just snap a bunch of pics from different angles with your phone so you have a reference to look back on if you get stuck. But getting at the parts is not a problem.

There's actually a nice mod guide over at Singapore Mod Works. Check out this Stampede Mod Guide. And don't worry about replacing the spring. I left the stock spring and get very good ranges. In fact, these old Stampedes and Vulcans are starting to get brittle. It's probably best not to crank up the tension on the main spring. I tried on a Vulcan and broke two plunger rods.

So quit making excuses Sir Spudliness. Buy that Stampede and get modding. And if you get seriously stuck, I'll send you my contact info and step you through it over the phone. You can do this my starchy friend. You can do this.
