As you can see there is an indent where the hole for the pin is. Are there any special angled punches for this? Regular straight pin punch can't go deep enough due to the angle I have to insert it in.
edit: image shows in preview but not in the thread. how do I post a pic? |

If you can a smaller pin to push the to pin out, you can use channel locks to push it through.

Assuming that is an open hole when the upper is removed, I would try a very small 90 degree bend allen wrench to use as a punch. Never seen a 90 degree punch though.

What lower is it? Are you sure it's not tapped for a screw in pin?

I tried the allen wrench method. But the tiny allen wrench is just too flimsy to drive the pin out. Tried to push on the elbow of the allen wrench with pliers, but it won't budge. |

I'd try to put a slight bend on the allen wrench and try to hammer the pin out. Is there room on the indent for the pin to come through the other side? If there is I'd say a dremel with a cutting wheel and cut through the bolt release to remove it and drive the pin all the way through. That or use a drill bit the same diameter of the bolt release body. Drill it through so that the roll pin will be cut in half. Remove bolt catch and then drive them through. |

Someone beat me to it. I have the Brownells punch that is made just for this. It works great!

The Brownells punch is made to work with more standard type lowers. It will not work with this one.

Is the other side sealed off? I always put mine in back to front.

Million dollar question, why do you have to remove it? If it functions I'd lean on the side of just leaving it alone and save the aggravation.

Go to Harbor Freight an buy a set of cheap punches. They bend easier than a punch should but in your case that's a good thing.

Can't you tap it out from the other side? A better picture would help.

Good luck bending a (cheap set) punch 90 degrees without breaking it. In for the results. Sorry I am not help, the all key sounded best so far, not sure that will work either. Quote HistoryQuoted:
