There is a tool for removing Roll pins, looks sorta like a C-clamp with a Threaded pin in place of the clamp rod, looks like this: # 3276
An Arbor press with correct size pin punch? Using a wood fixture with some leather between the wood and rifle to protect the rifle's finnish.
Ok guys. Anyone that has replaced seals or has refinished a stock on a Ben or Dan has had to deal with removing rollpins. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's a B!&$@... Other than hammer and punch, what is your best method for removing rollpins without blowing out the wood. I'm working on a 347 and the pins to remove the pump and muzzle plug wont budge and the barrel is in great condition. Don't want to mess it up.Help me out with your ideas. Thanks,Ck

Thanks,CkI have no experience with the guns you mentioned however I have used this tool from Harbor Freight to push out R9 cocking lever rivets................When I bought mine it cost $9.95 and it's great for pushing out dowels without pounding. If the ram is too big for your purpose perhaps it can be "thinned" with a file so it will fit your roll pin recess. One thing to look for when it comes to the hollow hardened roll pins.......sometimes they'll break long ways in the hole and then the two halves will just wedge themselves in the hole due to the rough surfaced break.
