Short story:
How do I get this pin out?
Long story:
I bought a .410 Stevens 94 last week for $30 with the goal of trying my hand at refinishing it. It had some surface rust and the stock was pretty beat up. I sanded down the stock and put a hand rubbed oil finish on it. Somewhat miraculously to me, I was able to remove all of the dings and two of the hairline cracks were sealed by wetsanding the finish in.
I remove the rust and bluing from the barrel but my little adventure caught a snag with the receiver. I was able to remove 95% of the bluing but I wasn't satisfied with that. So... I tried to disassemble the receiver and got stuck with this pin. I think I was supposed to cock the hammer before attempting to remove it.
Any tips on how to remove this pin? If not, should I pay a gunsmith to clean up my mess or just part this thing out (stripped/degreased 410 barrel, refinished stock and forend)?
