Svt bolt

[yes man]

Ok im having problems getting the pin out that holds the firing pin in ive used a block of wood with a hole drilled to let the come out and used a punch and hammer but it will not budge is there somthing else i can try like heat or penatrating oil? Or is there a gunsmith in the mid vancover isl area that can do it?im afraid to damage it now ive hit it pretty hard and wont move at all ... Some advice would be great thx

Try pressing in the firing pin before you start trying to remove the cross pin. The firing pin might have caused a burr or bent the cross pin. You can always drill it out. I though the pin had a shoulder but just checked a couple of my spare bolts and no shoulder. Try a bit of heat but watch it as you are one the locking lug area.
