So one of my rifles came with a rear sight leaf that had the a broken sight leaf pin in it and it has been a muther hugger to get out. I've broken at least 4 1/16" punches and only managed to move it out about 1/4 of the total distance I need. It has to be oversized because before I even started punching it (before any swelling) it was incredibly stiff. I used liquid wrench, and keep punching but don't want to buy any more punches.
Does anybody have any ideas on how I could get it the rest of the way out? I am trying to do everything except drill it out. I don't want to risk damaging the hole any more since it is a matching part of the rifle.
In addition, does anybody know the exact width of the pin? It seems like a 3mm to me but was wondering if anybody knew for certain?
Also if anyone has any correct pins I'll be in the market for some here in a bit!
Thanks in advance!
