IIRC, it is 1/16" for the ejector roll pin, not 3/32."  You can use the tip of the firing pin for the extractor pivot pin, it should basically just drop out with thumb pressure on the extractor.

I use the tip of the firing pin to push it out, then grab it with my teeth and pull.  exactly as I was trained to do.

With your teeth?

I thought that was only for pulling grenade rings.

Dang right, drills said that was the only way to keep that fucker from slipping out of our hands if we're in the woods, etc, and we were to do it that way from now till eternity.  I still do it mainly out of fondness of old memories.

And Engineers only use grenades for firecrackers, we pull the pins on M81 initiators with our teeth!

no no no, you're all wrong, it's a lip licking good barbequed steel bolt, basted in a light CLP/carbon sauce.

A tanker and an Engineer were drinking from a can.
The tanker to the Engineer "outdrink me if you can!"
The tanker took a sip and then he started turning green...
But the Engineer kept drinking, IT WAS ONLY GASOLINE!

Theres a verse for every situation!

We lay down all their rolling roads and cut down all their trees
And if the order ever comes, we’d forge the raging seas
When ever they want to sleep awhile, we put them up a town
And we build the blasted bridges so the Infantry won’t drown

Can you build me a hard surface runway, so I don’t have to land in the crud.
Cause by God everyone knows it’s so true, Army aviators hate walking in mud.

This work?

We build their roads and airfields
  Their pipelines and their camps,
From underground munitions dumps
  To concrete loading ramps.

Honestly, there's a lot of pent up rage and frustration in the Corps of Engineers.  We're the redheaded stepchildren of the army.  

Its a lot like a football team. The infantry are offensive linemen, the tankers are linebackers, the MPs are cheerleaders, and the pilots are quarterbacks.  And everyone focuses on them, but without these mean, ugly bastards on the defensive line, you'sa aint gonna win that game

Everything is bigger in the Engineers.

To the OP, sorry for hijacking your thread, flying it to a non-extradition country, and having my way with it in a seedy hotel.
