Is it welded. I've heard of them putting the piece of rod (not an actual spring loaded detent pin) in some rifles and the only way to get then off is to cut the muzzle nut off and then drive the FSB pin out or drill it. The detent pin replacement may have be jammed in with the cross pin driven in. This would explain your not getting it to move. If it does have a spring though, then try to get the detent pin to move back with a punch.

Thanks for the reply. What a shame to do that to that poor rifle.

The detent pin is solid.
1. Press out the front sight base pin in the front. 2. Very carefully dremel and remove the protruding portion of the detent (solid) pin. 3. The muzzle nut should be able to rotate now and be removed. Remember, it is left-hand thread. 4. Take a scribe and insert it into the FSB hole and work the remaining portion of the solid pin out the front of the detent pin hole. 5. Purchase a new detent pin and spring and reinstall. 6. Screw muzzle nut or flash hider or muzzle break back on rifle. |
