Hello, this question is more attributable to an armourer or a gunsmith who has experience in stripping a bren a bit further than the average squaddie was ever taught.
This relates to the Gas Piston and breech block carrier assembly. My question is -
How does one separate the actual piston rod from the breech block carrier? There is a locking pin in the end of the carrier which has a dimple on one end of it and is domed on the other end and I would assume that this pin can only be pushed out one way, and the reverse on reassembly. However I cannot fathom out how to push the pin out, no matter which way I try to push it, and so I am wondering if the pin is locked in place somehow and one has to do something else in order to release it and take off the piston rod.
Has anyone any knowledge of this please

Regards Rockape 26
