    I had that idea of drilling the plunger in order to stick a scribe in there and pry it back. The mag catch is expensive and the housing is pristine. The safety is right and mag catch is right. I think I'll just leave it alone. There is no problem, mag catch springs in and out just fine and the push safety operates just fine. I just cant stand not being able to pull it apart. I think I'll just keep soaking it and prying, maybe warm it up in the oven. But for now I'm leaving it alone. SG's are pretty hard to find, and its original. And I did think about tapping the mag catch back and forth to maybe break it free, it may just need to break loose one time and then start moving.
