It's an old thread that got resurfaced some say his front take down pin is still stuck others say it's not the world will never knowThe post that I'm replying to is from today. It might be from someone who has you on ignore.
1775 usmc no I would never block him to much entertainmentYou'd be correct. Haha. One of many.
I actullay tried that at one pointSpit on it.
Normally does the trick. It gets you weird looks at the range though.Spit on it.
After three years my patience would be non-existent and that lower would probably be either broken or marred up pretty bad by now. It's just a lower.3 years later, front takedown pin, still won't budge...
If the need to spit on it occurs, there was a serious lack of warm-up/preparation that led up to that point…Spit on it.
At least the lower doesn't scream "OW !!!"If the need to spit on it occurs, there was a serious lack of warm-up/preparation that led up to that point…
Since I am obviously only talking about the takedown pin the OP struggled with, the example of lack of warm up would be pausing and taking the time to make sure he was putting it in the correct hole.
This is an important thing to understand, and has some very important life applications. This was probably a very needed lesson for OP, and there will be people in his future who truly benefit from him having learned this, 'the hard way.' So that he will never make this mistake again.
P.S.

Say no more. If you have a helper put the takedown pin in their mouth first and then put it in the correct hole, it works well, too.In a hurry.
Hey, I think if OP followed our advice he wouldn't have found himself in that predicament so…Are you folks even talking about the original topic anymore?
I don't think so, Tim.
I ended up ordering a cheap replacement pivot pin from Delta Team Tactical and it works as it should. The pivot pin from the PSA kit is defective.I am dealing with this now but was able to hammer pivot pin to the open position. I used paper clip trick to rotate pin past detent. Looking at the pin it is definitely a case of the open position detent hole being too deep/wide. I polished and lubed both detent holes and now the closed positioned detent hole works but open position does not. I maybe be able to file down some material around the open position detent hole but pivot pins are cheap so I will likely get a new one.
