Have any of you ever successfully installed or removed the straight pin that holds a Noveske gas block to a Noveske barrel?
This is the last significant step of my AR-15 build, and I had heard horror stories about their tight gas block pins in the past.
Like other pinned AR-15 barrels, this barrel has a slot cut crosswise in the barrel to accommodate the pin, but the pin is a straight pin in this instance. I started installing the pin, and was not able to get it more than halfway in. I also can't seem to get it out.
I've now bent a punch on the pin, and hammered on it for quite some time, but it really isn't moving in either direction.
Ideas?
