I came home a few days ago with a new Collector's Series 10/22 #31191, it's a beautiful rifle. I was a little surprised to find that all the rear sight attachment and adjustment screws were completely loose as was the barrel flash hider. No biggie, tightened and adjusted everything during it's pre-cleaning. During this cleaning I discovered I can not get the bolt stop pin to budge. I have used significant force but it won't move. I know the bolt stop pin shouldn't be this hard to remove but it is. Everything else disassembled and reassembled just fine. So I took it to the range for it's 1st 100 rounds thinking that might loosen the pin and tried to remove the bolt stop pin again, no go.
Not sure about using heat with the finish on the receiver. I would appreciate any thoughts or tool ideas you may have for removing this pin without damaging the finish.
