So I wanted to pull some 14-2 front sights so I could refinish a few shrouds.  Some of my shrouds have pins that go completely through--no problem 🙂

I have two 4" shrouds that only have the pin visible on one side.  I figured a few good whacks with the drift punch and it would pop through the other side...wrong !

after about the 3rd whack, my drift had a nice bend in it -- subsequent attempt to straighten drift resulted in broken drift....

So do I need to drill the pin from the blind side?

Drill it, install a new pin. Who Knew?

Blind roll pins suck

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

That's for sure. I've got a blind roll pin holding the firing pin on my Seville's...which means that if you want to take it apart & clean in there, it ain't happenin' capn'.Frown
