Yes, that is correct they are NOT roll pins but there are only TWO of them, not four. The pins are solid and tapered. They go all the way through the base and secure the base to the barrel through corresponding races drilled through the bottom of the barrel. Take a punch and hammer and hit the pins on the side that is the smallest in diameter to remove them, that is the way they go out. Repeat on the larger side when re-inserting them. |

I hope you are not trying to remove the front sight base on a Bushmaster!! If you are good luck with it, They do something to crush the taper pins when they assemble them at the factory. You will not be able to remove that front sight base on a Bushmaster with a hammer and punch. But I know a dremmel tool works just fine, as long as you are willing to put a new gas block or front sight base on it.
Have fun!!

Same here. Applied Kroil (penetrating oil) the night before. Used a punch and a BFH. Two hits on each pin. |
