Recoil Pins Under Scope Rail on Springfield Redline

[Readyngo]

Tried removing them with vise grips. No go. Anybody know how I can get them off to direct mount a scope?

Did you try any heat? They might have used Loctite.

 

[Readyngo]

I tried a heat gun but so far they’re not budging.

 

[Readyngo]

Bump

 

[BBob]

You call Springfield yet?

If Loctite'd it might need more heat like a torch on the ends of the pins.

 

[Readyngo]

I haven’t. That’s next.

you ever get this figured out? I have one that is stuck something fierce...

I can’t get mine out either. Considering drilling out holes for them in one piece scope mounts with a drill press

After an hour of yanking, twisting, banging, and blasting with a heat gun I was able to finally break it free.
