I am putting this in General because I think the problem could be with any firearm that uses pins for assembly. If Mods think it needs to be moved to Rifle Country please do so.
This is on a Mossberg 151K 22lr semi auto. These were made in 1950 & 51 so the rifle is at least 69 years old. Guns owner is part of my extended family It is not my gun, my task is to clean it up and stop the surface rust. I have seen few guns that were as crudded up. It was left very dirty and then neglected for several decades.
Rest of the pins came out, no problem but these refuse to budge. I started soaking them in CLP a week ago and have been pecking at them a couple times a day since and cannot get either one of them to budge.
The extractor seems to operated freely so if I need to just leave well enough alone I can butt the pin on the receiver really needs to come out so I can reassemble the sear assembly.
Any tricks someone can share?
