| I posted this in the general AK are a few days ago, I'm hoping for more responses here. I have a new WASR-2. I'm no newbie to AK's, and I fully understand the proper procedure for bolt dissassembly. Problem is, the pins will not come out. I've soaked it in penetrating oil and tried a vise, punch, hammer combo to no avail. Has anyone encountered this before? If so, what is the fix? |
| I have broken a few punches before trying to remove stubborn pins on those bolts, but always managed to get them out. Keep soaking it in a high penetration oil (Kroil, WD40, etc.). I have mic'd the pins before on about 20 bolts and found there was a .001" variance in dimensions between them. When installing the pins back in the bolt, if I find one that is too tight I then try a different pin. I want the pin to be moderately tight (not too loose or not too tight-should not have to sledge hammer them in). Anyway, just keep trying and it should come out. |
