Help with stuck detent pin
« on: April 13, 2014, 10:02:18 PM »
So I got a Slovak muzzle brake and when I went to install it the detent pin would not push in. I tapped it with a punch and it is stuck in the hole and won't spring out. Any thoughts on getting this little bugger to release? Thanks

My first thought was try penetrating oil, but then I read that you tried a hammer and punch... So I'm not realy sure how to take it apart but il see if I can maybe find a way online withought taking apart the fsb.

Can't say I've taken it down that far. 

You might be able to get to it if you take out the front sight post and then press out that circle sight insert.  Sure beats taking off the front  sight block...  Keep us posted on your solution!
