| What brand? If it's a Stag, don't try it yourself as these are pressed in with a ton of pressure, more pressure than you'll be able to overcome with a punch and hammer. You'll end up damaging something before you give up anyway. Stags usually need a fixture and press to knock out. |
yes, I'm pushing it from the smaller end going to the bigger end of the pin. I'ts an A1 colt. I'm starting to damage the FSB. |
I watched on laughing as Randall Rausch broke a hardened steel punch with a 1 pound brass hammer trying to get Stag pins out. Be ended up building a jig for his vise which still required a hell of an effort before the pins came out. Good on him. |
Stag pins are backwards and drift out just fine right to left... 
|
He had it oriented correctly, just damn tight. |
Duh. It's pretty simple to tell the orientation by looking at the sides of the pin. I never assume anything. Have you ever tried to remove them... the correct way? Stags are the worst. I didnt think anything could be tougher than some of the bushy FSB's until Stag started making uppers. |
