AR15 buffer retainer pin stuck!
AR15 buffer retainer pin stuck!
Anyone have a fix for this? The buffer retainer pin was really tight going into this lower and I made the mistake of pushing it down and now it's STUCK. ITS TIGHT. I've tried freezing it and oiling it and pulling at it with Needle nose pliers. It won't pop up. Scared it might have to be drilled out and replaced.

This ^^^ or wiggle it side to side

LOL.
Well all it took was about 3 seconds with a torch and it popped right out! Gave the edges a sanding with 2000 grit sand paper and it works just fine now.
I didn't let the hooker out of the trunk though.
