stuck firing pin
Post Body

I recently bought a yugo. I cleaned the barrel to make sure it was clear before shooting, and noticed the firing pin wouldn't move. It was actually stuck in the back position at the time. I figured that was wrong but decided to put it back together and shoot it once anyway. I took it out and, of course, it slam fired. So I went about removing the bolt and now the firing pin was stuck in the forward position. Using the punch in the cleaning kit, I was able to knock it back and partially out, but it won't move more than a half inch. Once it gets knocked either direction, it stays stuck in place. I think I need a longer punch to get the firing pin out, but I'm not sure what I need. I've left bolt in mineral spirits for the last 2 nights and I plan to boil it, but I'm not sure what I need to force the firing pin the rest of the way out. Any help would be appreciated.
