trouble with ruger 10/22 disassembly

[bobbybeans]

Hey y'all,

So I love my new ruger 10/22, but I can't take out the two pins which hold in the trigger group. The bolt stop pin comes out no problem. Any suggestions? I have applied sufficient force with a punch and rubber mallet and yet they won't budge.

Cheers,
Bob

I really had to hammer mine the first time. They get easier the more you do it.

Like blondes and screen doors... the more you bang'em the looser they get.
