Ugh. I've spent 6 hours trying to get the damned stripper clip guide off my M1A to put my new scope mount on. Should've been out shooting it already. Yes, I took the roll pin out (that was the first three hours). Yes I soaked it in oil (then tried WD40 then got desperate and tried some circus magic PB Blaster thing that was on the home depot shelf too). Yes I'm supporting it in all the right places when I hammer it. The damned thing will not budge out of the dovetail. Going nuts now seriously considering bringing it to a machine shop to mill it out.
If anybody has any suggestions let me know. I have a feeling gunsmiths are a several week wait.
