There is no pin that holds it in.  The top of the gas regulator is spring loaded and slides in its dovetail perpendicular to the bore axis.  It can then be rotated to the other settings or removed to access the gas piston and rings.  It should require only finger pressure to slide and rotate.  Don't use any sort of tool to try and force it or you will bend and break things.

thanks again- i have cleaned the piston with just a twist of average finger pressure before
i proably cleaned it only 4-5 times
but this time i usually press it in and twist lightly-
it required much force- carbon bulid up in there- i guess
then the lip of the gas plug ripped off
any idea where to get those parts?
i emailed msar customer service - waiting ...

From past experience with MSAR CS, you'll probably have your gas plug en route today.  Just give him time to get to work and respond.

I'll bet he is referring to one of the sealing rings that go around the piston.........
