858 muzzle pin stuck

[Bottled Rage]

any ideas on how to fix this?

Push out the side retaining pin. Push down on the stuck pin, with pointy tip of the L shaped tool from the cleaing kit push it up from the inside's of the side pin hole.

At least that's what I did when I f**ked up and put lock-tite on my muzzle break thread and everything spilled around and in the pin hole. I have to jerk it for a while working up and down until the lock-tite came off and I and worked the pin loose. And I sprayed it up with some gun solvent and oil in hope of cleaning the crap from the lock-tite.

This might not be the best idea but its what I did. If you wish, wait for a second opinion.

I kept on poking on it with a pen and it popped up after a while.

I would spray some liquid penetrate/lube on it and then take a small nomark hammer and tap on the side of the sight around the pin area on both sides.

Yep the spring is broken. Take out retaining pin and replace the spring.

If the spring is not broken take it to the range and fire a few rounds. I had the same problem and could not get the pin out until I fired some rounds off . Popped right out.
