Grinding sa tabs on pro mag rocker

It it possible to just grind the tabs off of a sa rocker to make it non-sa. Heres what happened. A couple of my sa rocker tabs got chewed on about 3 or 4 rockers and i dont have the cash for a new set yet so i was thinking of just grinding em flat and using a guide plate for those rockers. Has anyone done this before? what would be the best way to grind it since the tabs are so close to the roller?

Re: Grinding sa tabs on pro mag rocker

i believe the only difference is the aligning tabs. so in essence it should work.

HOWEVER, in my experience it's NEVER a good idea to mix and match parts. if only 2-3 of the rockers are bad, you can order invidual rockers. check summitracing.com or call the company directly.
