browning A5 takedown help needed

[emmie]

trying to strip down a A5 and am down to the locking block latch pin.
this is pin that holds everything to the bolt. normally, you line up latch pin with notch cut in right of receiver and put punch in small hole on left side of receiver and tap out.
NOT this one,so far I have bent starter pun and pin punch,flooding with kroll
oil, but still not moveing.
any suggestions as to what to try next? all suggestions welcomed

thank you for your time-------emmie

Browning A-5

Make sure, especially if it's an old one, that the pin isn't really a screw. I learned this the same hard way that you might be, by bending a few little punches and then finding out that many of the old A-5s have slim screws. You might want to check it with a jeweler's screwdriver.
