Are you making it harder than it's supposed to be
Turn the rifle on it's side with the serial number facing up, put a 2x4 under the front sight base, Put a nail setting punch on the taper pin, hit the punch with a hammer Dont be shy, you'll have to shock it, they're pretty tough using a nail set punch works better because it is concave and fits the pin the 2x4 protects the finish and gives it a solid surface to hit on |

B I G G E R H A M M E R !
tapping them will only mushroom the end of the pin. 1 or 2 good "who's your daddys" should get it free. Just suport the FSB when pounding. Then tap them out with a small punch, once you break them free they almost slide out. Spinning the FSB once free will make it EZer to remove. Also some lube on the barrel will help it slide off with out any damage to the finish. |

It really helps me to use an oversize punch at first, to get them moving, and then once they are flush, tap them out with a smaller punch...

I've done a few but just did the first set on a bushmaster on last friday. Damn!!! use a BIG hammer with a punch and you'll be fine just don't baby it also never hurts to spray a little CLP on it.

BFH and BFP. Pins are hardened so drilling will be a PITA.
