Having trouble getting the silver pins out on my .308 conversion.

All the info I've read said that the two silver pins should come out easily, but mine seem pretty firmly in place. Any advice?

Was the conversion information you were reading for a different caliber? 308s don't have the same bizarre trigger linkage that other calibers have.The two axis pins for the hammer and trigger are held in place via a lip on the pin inside the left interior wall of your receiver and there will be a wire that goes into that lip in both pins.Press the wire out of the way and the pins will wiggle out with little effort but the hammer and trigger parts the pins go though are under spring tension so you be advised.

Thanks, exactly what I needed. Now I just need to determine how I want to connect the buttstock.

Success!! Gun range tomorrow, and then report+pictures! Thanks SOPMOD, Dinzag, and anyone else who offered advice.
