I just got a 1951 336SC that is giving me the worst headache. I've gotten the whole thing stripped out except the mag tube and mag tube plug. Neither will move. I tried soaking 'em in moosemilk, spraying with WD40, spraying with graphite lube, beating it with a stick (really) and drilling it out (my extractor bit broke in the hole). I already have a replacement tube plug so I'm not worried that I murdered the old one. What can I do?

????? The magazine tube plug is held in the front of the tube by a single cross screw from the bottom. With the screw out it should easily push out the front . Did someone solder or glue this one in ??

Turns out the tube plug was being held in place by the magazine tube stud. Thanks for your help, y'all. Now I've gotta find a replacement plug for the one I butchered. The replacement I got was for the full tube mags. At least Brownells is low key about returns.
