Stubborn safety spring plunger
Just curious, has anyone ever had a safety spring plunger stuck in the trigger housing? Never have run into this on a dissassembly before. Cant pry the plunger back away from the mag catch to release it. Been spraying with penetrating oil, let it soak overnight in Kroil, still wont budge. I normally use a jewelers screwdriver and they pull right back. They are tricky suckers anyway because they really dont have a good edge, they have a slope. I noticed when I bought this carbine and took it apart it looked like there might have been some corrosion going on right there in the hole to pry it loose. Any of you guys run across this and what chemical did you use to break it free. I have taken all of my housings down and never run into this. Any suggestions?....Thanks...Rusty
You might just shoot a bunch of carburetor cleaner
in there with the little tube provided to localize the jet. The chemicals are not really harmful to a finish beyond removing any oil in the metal pores which is replenished when you reapply it. That stuff can really break up carbon crud and flush it out. Part comes out clean and oil free. Anyone else have a problem using this stuff?
